Electric train set questions
Posted by PJinAtl on 12/4/24 at 9:44 am
When is the right time to get a kid an electric train set, and what scale?
For the last few years I have set up my old O-27 gauge train around the bottom of our Christmas tree, and this year our three year old has really taken an interest in it. I think he is still too young this year (just turne...

I'm not going to complain too much. Oscar saved us on the tying FG. The snap was short and he grabbed it and got it set up in time to save the kick.
Field was definitely slick for some reason. Lots of players seemed to go down without any help.

I think tomorrow night will tell us a lot. Does the CFP committee drop Bama far enough that they are out no matter what? If so we may get a sleepwalking Bama team not really caring vs. an Auburn team playing for a bowl (if the players really care about that). That may give AU the edge.
