Sad to say i can't celebrate this the way i should. Found out my father in law had died sometime the night before right at kickoff. Spent the evening sorting things out and consoling my wife.

After the chaos settled and I'd put everyone to bed I realized one of the last things he'd told me was that even though he was a Fighting Irish fan he'd be watching and rooting for my dwags to win it all yesterday. It wasn't like I was going to sleep anyway so poured some left over booze and watched the game on recording.

My father in law was a good man and raised two kids as a blue collar hard working Irishman. He was one of the most patient people I knew and taught me to be a better father. I'm going to miss talking football with him every season while my wife rolls her eyes at us.

My wife told me that the Huskies better win it all or she will personally castigate the whole team and everyone on this silly stupid site.

Go Dwags.
 
Oof Ts and Ps for real. Life never slows down, focus on the important stuff.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences.

Hang in there, bud.
 
I seriously thought about going to New Orleans for this game and the wife even greenlit me leaving her at home with the kids.

I'm so glad I decided against it and was home which obviously is not what I expected.

This post started as an explanation why I'm not whooping it up all over the boards but here we are.
 
As someone with a similar relationship with his father in law, I get it. Sorry for your loss.

Go Dawgs.
 
Sincere thanks for the t's and p's to all and allowing me to emotionally @jhfstyle24 all over our? Greatest win in 20+ years.

Just a reminder to appreciate family and friends and maybe reach out to those you haven't talked to in a while.

Even if it's just to talk shit to your cousins in Texas.
 
Ts & Ps, that sucks and is some shit timing. Sounds like you handled it pretty well. I can only compare to me, my dad passed away the afternoon before the USC game kicked off. I knew it was coming since he was in hospice for a while and so had preoccupied myself with things like golf but still proceeded to get absolutely blasted out of my mind that night, partially from winning at golf, from kicking USC's ass and from that I guess. I threw up all over the house and couldn't move the next day. Very proud.
 
T’s and P’s brother.

This has me realizing I spent more time as an adult with my deceased FIL than with my own dad. FIL used to annoy me at times but I definitely learned a lot from him.
