It's a day duck fans have long been waiting for - 114 years in fact - and I'd be lying if I said we all weren't relishing this moment. To be meeting an SEC team in the BCS Championship game is truly an honor and I couldn't be more proud of our hardworking team.

I believe karma will serve justice tonight. And as Chip wittingly told the crowd at the pep rally on Sunday, it's just meant to be that it's the Tostitos Bowl and our head coach is named Chip. Ah, Chip. You kill me.

Win or lose, it's a great moment in history. I'm sad I couldn't afford to be there but I'm optimistic that we'll be back. And I've already made plans that I'll be there - come hell or high water.

Go Ducks!
