My Last Boise State / OU Post

This was the 4th and 18 play with less than 30 seconds left in regulation. Simply amazing. (For a less than three minute clip of all the scoring that occurred in the last two minutes and overtime, here it is.)

Debit Card Update

Update from the earlier post. I just got a call from the bank that a gentleman showed up with my debit card and $400. Incredible. I asked that he give his name and contact information if he would be so kind as to divulge it. The guy deserves something.

I'm Still Hypnotized by The OU - Boise State Game

Here's the two point conversion for the win. A fake throw while the ball is in the other hand. Then secretly handed off to the tailback who had been casually just standing around. Genius. But this play doesn't match the Hook and Ladder on 4th and 19 a few moments earlier. I'm still looking for it.

EEK

My bank called me this morning (huge shout out to First Financial) to ask me if I lost me debit card. I said no, and the nice lady informed me that someone had found it and was bringing in "the card and some money" this morning. I quickly checked my wallet and . . . yep . . . it's gone. I last used it two days ago. She quickly checked my records and found out that there was a $400 withdrawal shortly after I made my last transaction. The story so far is that I left the card in the machine and the next person chose "yes" to "do you want another transaction?" He then, the story goes, realized that it was my account and not his account that the $400 was withdrawn from. Will this guy bring in $400? I'll know shortly. What a wacky way to start the new year.
