This is ourrrrrr countreeeey

After a weekend of watching NFL playoffs and then one of the most watched shows on TV (24) I think I’ve seen that damn Chevy ad about 13,722 times now. Anyway, I think I’ve finally recovered from the grief that was the National Championship game. The trip itself was a blast and I ended up getting to watch the game in the stadium thanks to my awesome Uncle Rob who just happened to be down for the game and just happened to have an extra ticket and just happened to call me up about 24 hours before kickoff. Everything was awesome except for the outcome. There is a lot of analyzing you can do looking at why we lost, but I’ve decided to sum it up as follows. Florida played their best game that they had all year and we played our worst. A lot of other factors might contribute to why we played so poorly but thats the simplest way to put it. Thank goodness on Saturday I got to witness a true Ohio State win as the Men’s basketball team put away Tennessee in the last few seconds. I don’t know if I could have taken another loss.

So the 6th season of 24 has started and I’ve now come to the conclusion that 24 is one of the biggest junk food shows ever. And its awesome! There is so much poor writing and plot twists, but that just makes it all the better. Let me go through a few of my observations from the first two episodes for all you 24 fans. (Just a note, at the time of this writing I have not seen any further episodes than the first two).

• Who knew Tiki Barber was some uber terrorist?

• 
• If it comes to it, when Jack Bauer is tied up, with no weapons, and about to get his finger cut off. He will eat you. Eat you right in the neck.
• Times CTU has failed to set up a perimeter? 531 and counting
• If you ever find yourself on a train without a ticket, just say the following line. “My name is Jack Bauer, I’m a federal agent, that man over there has explosives strapped to his chest, if he suspects that anything unusual is going on he’ll set them off, keep walking”. Works every time.
• Kicking someone off a moving train who then explodes is probably one of the best ways to kill someone ever. Other than eating them that is.
• If Prison Break is of any precedent, shouldn’t Jack be like the most recognized man in the US if not the world? He’s now single handedly saved us 5 times, 2 of which were very much viewed by the public. Shouldn’t someone at least recognize him as the man who was thought to have killed the President? Or maybe as the same man who later that day arrested the President? I know I would.
• Remind me never to allow myself to be tortured by the Chinese. It does horrible things to your skin and sense of wanting to kill people.
• Kumar will get very upset if you pronounce his name wrong.
• Now that David Palmer is in AllState heaven, his brother has taken over the White House and apparently been inflicted with the whispering disease.
• It’s OK for the government to call a cobra strike on a house in the middle of the neighborhood on US soil. As long as that neighborhood is the ghetto. Like Inglewood.

Those are just a few of the reasons why 24 rocks so hard. If you don’t watch this show you are truly missing out on some of the best and at the same time worst television of the 00’s.
