Those fuckers SERIOUSLY are going to ice the kicker? Up by 14, and with MSU pulling alums out of the stands to suit up and play D?

Ha! For years "Fuck Everything - Here's Some Zebra Footage" has been a thing I'd say when a story I was telling jumped the rails and I needed just to bring it to a rapid close. I had no memory of where it came from.
