What a day for sports yesterday was. In college football Georgia and Texas Tech cruise to easy victories. Duke upset Virginia in overtime and Indiana holds on to defeat No. 1 Ohio State and get their first outright title win since 1945...very not bad. I admit I was rooting for the Hoosiers because the win is historic and who wouldn't want to see history? UFC 323 also went down last night with Petr Yan defeating Merab Dvalishvili to regain the Bantamweight title. During the post fight interview Dvalishvili said, "I tried entertainment fight today. I tried a good fight to give everybody." While that is admirable I'm pretty sure his manager wanted him to use a more strategic approach but it was a good fight.
Continuing the Year In Review we head to February
