I was watching it for the Mat Barkley-hype, but it's 40-40 after one OT, with both teams blocking the other's PAT in the first OT.

Talk about a contrast in design styles between two teams, yikes. Anybody catch SportCenter's quick hit on the Thunder logo? Anchor read list of other names that didn't make it and, as the logo was cross-fading into the next story, said as a throwaway line, "Don't get me started." Was pretty clear he didn't think much of either the name or the logo. Watching Michigan State-Cal highlights on Big Ten Network. Talk about a contrast in design styles between two teams, yikes.
