What a very disappointing loss. The entire game was one either mistake by the Patriots, bad call by the referee or even worse a force by the Broncos.
Just like last week, the first quarter brought nothing to the scoreboard except 0-0.
In the second quarter, the patriots scored first with a field goal. The Bronos scored a touchdown after a fumble by the Patriots and a BAD pass interference call on Asante Samuel. On the kickoff return the Patriots lost the ball again when the Bronos Kicker Sauerbrun nailed Ellis Hobbs causing another fumble. Two fumbles in 18 seconds. (Not the usual Patriots) Broncos got a field goal making the score 10-3 going into the half.
The third quarter was very upsetting due to the crazy turn of events. With the patriots in the red zone on the 5 yard line, Brady threw a pass in the end zone to Troy Brown for the TD when Champ Bailey picked off Tom Brady’s throw and ran it down the sideline for a 100 yard ALMOST scoring interception. Bailey thought he was home free when Ben Watson came from nowhere to knock him out of bounds at the 1 yard line. To make things almost better, Patriots challenged the play saying that the ball was knocked into the end zone and out of bounds which would give the patriots the ball back at their own 20 yard line. AGAIN, bad call by the referee and the Broncos ran it in for a TD.
In the forth quarter, things seemed to be going well until the Bronos had to punt with Troy Brown back for the return. Troy was a little off and fumbled the punt and the Broncos recovered the ball again. They scored on that play making it 24-6 with 8:30 left in the game. Brady threw to David Givens for a TD making the score 24-13. Brady got one more chance to make a historic comeback when he was intercepted by Lynch and that secured the win for the Broncos.
This year was very rough on the Pats with all of the injuries and losing both offensive and defensive coordinators, I think that they did an amzing job with what they had. To the Patriots who had an amazing run in the post season of 10-0 are not going to make NFL history winning three superbowls in a row. No team has ever done that and the Patriots were three wins away from it. To the Patriots Dynasty winning 3 out of 4 superbowls, wait until next year.

Steve and I went to Biederman’s Deli to watch the Patriots game and have a few drinks and food. The first quarter was boring with no one scoring any points. In the second quarter, Pats scored a touchdown and the Jaguars got a field goal, the only points they would get all game. Watson’s catch and run of 63 yards gave the patriots a 21-3 lead. Following that was a Asante Samuel 73 yard interception which capped the score at 28-3. The pats will go on to face either the Denver Bronos or the Indianapolis Colts.

I will not be working at the ITS Help Desk for a while, I am now officially the ITS web programmer. I got a new office on the 3rd floor of Hyde with a new computer and DUAL FLAT PANEL monitors. I will enjoy being there because I will be able to get a lot done on call log. Also, I will have Zach there helping me when I need it and I will have the ability to learn and grow as a programmer.

The Rose Bowl 2005 was one that will be remembered as one of the great Bowl Games in a long time. USC was winning by 5 points with 19 seconds left to play in the game when Vince Young, Texas Longhorn’s Quarterback, ran the ball in 8 yards for a touchdown to take a 1 point lead over the USC Trojans. They tried for a 2 point conversion that was successful. With 15 seconds left to play in the 2005 Rose bowl, USC tried down field for a miracle touchdown to win the game, but they could not pull it off. Texas beat USC 41-38.

So I worked today on Call Log (my web project for ITS AKA “My Life”) and got a lot done to it, but it is never enough. I always get a lot done, but the actual “end result” isnt there because all of my work right now is code. I was just informed that I will be working on integrating the entire ITS department’s web application. I wanted to get my AJAX skills “refined” and by refined, I mean learn. 
I was talking with my bosses John and Joann about the new Call Log design and I mentioned using some AJAX. John’s response was to talk to Matt because he is currently working on some applicaitons. After talking to Matt, “Script.aculo.us” is going to be the new standard at PSU. Looking at it for a few hours, I have realized why it is going to be our standard. It is very simple and straight forward. I have many new ideas that I am working on and as I continue to code, I will post the projects.

So it is January 2nd and I go to work, because I love ITS so much and I shower, walk to work from my apt in the cold and ITS is closed. No one is there because it is still the holiday. So I went to the HUB to do work and the HUB was closed too. I walked all the way back to my apt and worked on some things. The error is that I love work to much and I didn’t realize it was the holiday. I don’t know how that makes sense.

Even though it was a last second loss to the Dolphins, there were a lot of good that came from this game. For one thing, Doug Flutie with his drop kick extra point, I was in shock to see that considering it has never been done since 1941 in a NFL game.
Also, since we lost and we are now the 4th seed in the playoffs, we face the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card Weekend this Saturday at 8:00pm on ABC. Even though they are a great team and have a better record than us at 12-4, they do not have Tom Brady. Brady is undefeated at 9-0 in his playoff career and is going to prove it again this year against the Jags. We will see what is going to happen with this game next week.
