I figured they’d have something better.

[nutmeg]

WTF can’t they just have the Marching Bands?

That's what I was hoping to see. Saw them heading toward the field before the commercial break. Of course ESPN wouldn't show them. We were "treated" to that Kendrick Lamar jerk.

[nutmeg]

It was not entertaining enough to turn the sound on and thought about turning the picture off.

You're smart. I should've turned the sound off!

[nutmeg]

Amen to that!

Well at halftime, GA’s definitely looking like the better than AL. AL keeps making boneheaded mistakes and I think GA’s defense is looking tougher.

Unfortunately I’m going to bed, so I’m going to have to figure out how to not get on FR tomorrow until I watch the rest of the game.

[nutmeg]

Interesting, thanks!

Listened to the first half on ESPN radio. Home now for 2nd half.

I changed the channel. Unfortunately that meant I saw the Cavaliers getting stomped up in MN.

[nutmeg]

No wonder the Mooselimbs hate “American culture”. Can’t say I blame them.

In the case of tonight's "entertainment", I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Unfortunately that meant I saw the Cavaliers getting stomped up in MN.

I saw that score and LOL'd.

Alabama playing with more nasty than talent tonight. I think they lost mo and found penalties, WELL EARNED.

[dfwgator]

I’m not saying UCF would have beaten either of these two teams, but I think they would have been competitive.

[dfwgator]

Now they’ve got something going.

[RitaOK]

Are they the ones with no schedule to speak of?

[dfwgator]

We’ve got ourselves a ballgame now.

[logitech]

TUA! Finaly

[Impy]

Win or lose I think benching Hurts was a good move.

[dfwgator]

Well other than beating Auburn.

[dfwgator]

Saban had no choice.

[RitaOK]

I always wondered how they get things changed in the halftime locker room. Bama executes something and it lands on the board.
