I just finished watching the game. You don't know when I'm writing this, so I don't know why I even need to tell you that, but I just finished watching the game in my hotel room. I am currently experiencing the emotions that you experienced earlier this evening. I then took my phone off Do Not Disturb, flipped through the 178 texts (mostly group texts that were essentially game threads), and now I'm sitting down to write it up.

I was supposed to be there covering the game (kinda glad I don't have a 7 hour drive tomorrow where I'd just sit there thinking about this game), but I'm in Virginia to attend a funeral tomorrow (a friend's father). So I landed in Norfolk this evening after the game had already started, put my phone on Do Not Disturb, rented a car, drove to the hotel, and then started the game from the beginning. I just now finished.
