"The Penguins is a stupid name for a hockey team."

Title: Every Point Counts
Author: Namaste
Summary: A season of football bets between House and Wilson (and Cuddy) comes to an end as Michigan plays the University of Florida at the Capitol One Bowl. This will be an unusual fic, updated “live” throughout the game, so refresh your page if you want to read it in action. (And feel free to point out any errors I can fix in the process.) For background, this football fic series began with the supposition that House and Wilson have a standing bet involving House’s alma mater. Read the progress here, starting with Go Blue and continued in Hail To the Victors?, Tailgating, College Game Day, Down The Badger Hole and finally Bowled Over.

“I mentioned the Heisman, right?

I mentioned you’re annoying, right?

Title: Bowled Over
Author: Namaste
Summary: The football bet continues, and Wilson likes his chances. Part of the ongoing fics built around the prospect of House and Wilson betting on the football team at House’s alma mater, which began with Go Blue and continued in Hail To the Victors?, Tailgating, College Game Day and Down The Badger Hole.
Sample:
“Football?” Wilson sat forward, spread the paper out across Cuddy’s desk. “Bowl games?”
Cuddy pushed the paper aside. “In case you haven’t noticed, we’re ignoring you.”
“Doesn’t work,” House said. “Believe me. I’ve tried.”

”Since when do you win if Michigan loses?” Cuddy asked.
Wilson looked at House. House shook his head slightly. “I was speaking metaphorically,” he said.

Down The Badger Hole

Summary: I killed Steve McQueen. Sorry about that. House copes and Wilson digs.
Author’s Notes: I guess this counts as my first deathfic, huh?

“So let me get this straight,” Wilson said, “you don’t believe in the afterlife, but for some reason it matters that you find just the perfect place to bury your rat?”
