It's Christmas Eve and life is a little weird, but Tyvis Powell puts everything in perspective.
We almost at the end of the year and a lot of people are questioning what they have to celebrate from this year. You made it through a year of a pandemic, riots, race wars, unemployment, and yet youre still standing tall with a smile. Thats something huge to celebrate.

K-DUB CLAPBACK. Dabo Swinney has without exaggeration shown more concern about the number of games Ohio State has played this season than he has the global pandemic that caused the whole situation in the first place.
And he's at it again, seemingly unprompted!
“Obviously, you study their games this year…and that will be a quick study for us, because there was only six. So that will be a little easier. Typically you’re going into these with 13 games to study, so it won’t be as exalting of a task there.”
Asked to expand on the idea that game planning with only six games to look at would be simpler by one of the hosts of Packer and Durham, Dabo went on to share;
“From a process standpoint, absolutely. Typically, you have 13 games. They are going to have to study our 11 games. You have to study every play – offense, defense, special teams. You’re studying every play, plus you’re going back to last year. So yeah, it does make it a little easier because there’s not as much tape to pour through. You can’t make it up. There’s only six games.”
I'm not even sure what his point is here – his logic is flawed at best and dead-ass wrong at worst, for a variety of reasons – but I do know that he got swiftly nuked by my sleeper pick for best Twitter account on the team.
Behold, Kevin Wilson, Internet troll:
No Doubt about it @ClemsonFB - Yesterday @angiekwils & I Shared Our 25th Anniversary - Unfortunately I was stuck in the Office Burning the Midnight Oil Studying the @CitadelFootball Game Tape.

Missed Out on a Great Night with my Lovely Bride - Got Some Great Triple Option Plays! https://t.co/dSuKkr87Lz
1) Kevin Wilson needs to be whatever Ohio State's equivalent of Knighted is
2) Don't tease me with that triple option talk, KDub.
YOUR GAME TALKERS. I know some of y'all like to get worked up about the people talking about the football game on your television, so I figured I'd go ahead and pass on this information, and let you react how you need to.
At 8 p.m., the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl pits No. 2 Clemson and No. 3 Ohio State against one another under the lights of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. ESPN’s lead Saturday Night Football crew of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Maria Taylor will be joined by Tom Rinaldi in New Orleans on ESPN, and Sean Kelley and Barrett Jones will team up for the ESPN Radio broadcast.
Is this good news? Is this bad news? Is this no news at all? You decide!
TREY TIME. I have no idea when I'm going to get tired of watching Trey Sermon lay waste to Norhtwestern's defense, but it sure isn't gonna be today.

His point at his watch celebration is massively underrated, too.
Clemson ain't ready.
LONG TIME COMING. The last time Seth Towns scored in a basketball game, Joe Burrow and Dwayne Haskins (and of course Tate Martell, we can't forget) were battling it out to become Ohio State's next starting quarterback.
But our guy got back in the score sheet last night.
1,018 days between buckets.

Feels good, @seth_towns17 #Team122 #GoBuckeyes https://t.co/cV653ntlE5
The first of many, many more buckets in that Buckeye uniform, I can guarantee you that.
SONG OF THE DAY. "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" by Phil Wickham.
NOT STICKING TO SPORTS. Birds of prey invade a woman’s home for the second year in a row... The parents of ‘Balloon Boy’ are pardoned for the 2009 hoax that captivated the country... A fugitive in Montana... The skeletons at the lake... How Elon Musk, blue origin and the U.S. could set up the first extraterrestrial government...
