I think 30 straight is Rhule's record at Baylor and Nebraska vs AP ranked  11 & 9.

but, I get the point

better to be losing to good teams than teams like Minnesooota

I assume none on this board saw midnight. As it should be for the old.
I did. The kids are too old to fall for the "East Coast New Year's" trick but not old enough to all be out of the house. So we all made it to midnight.

I almost made it this year.  Only came 30 mins short.  

Probably because that's when the fireworks in my neighborhood stopped.  Apparently even the neighbors' kids have trouble making it til midnight.  That, or their dad can't make it either and doesn't let them do fireworks without him.

I made it til about 12:10.  Watched whatever countdown was Central timezone, drank a little Champagne, kissed my i s c & a aggie wife, and went to bed.

The kids were already asleep.  Their plans with their friends petered out around 10:00.

Is my car just a goddamned magnet? I mean, it's a Ford Flex. It's not small and inconspicuous. 

At yet today is the THIRD time I've gotten rear-ended. FFS!
