So much for the idea college football fans outside the Confederacy would not watch an all SEC final. I watched the entire epic and easy to see these were the two best teams in college football.

I luv the ESPN Megacast. I watched the coaches room options. David Cutcliffe was impressive.

How about so much for the NFL has over saturated the market and people are tired of football.

I watched it too, although fell asleep a couple times.

I saw Trump walking in with the color guard, something no other president who dare try doing.

But after that, did ESPN show him even one time? I saw Hershel Walker once, but not Trump.

If not, then I find it pretty lame of them.

I didn’t watch it. We already knew the #1 team (UCF). And the college football payoff once again left out the big10 champ. Last year they didn’t take the big10 champion and this year they didn’t even take the big10.

Anything to make sure SEC has a better chance to win.

I think if nobody but SEC teams go to this game for several years in a row, it will have a corrosive effect.

But last night’s was a fantastic game.

So much for NFL apologists that argue that the double digit decline in wild card ratings this past weekend was due to other non-cable platforms.

That would be as close to a controlled study that you can get.

Last night’s game reminded a lot of the last Super Bowl. One team goes up big only to lose it in overtime.

It was the end of the football season; not the college football season but THE football season. I am not watching the thugs in the BLM/NFL now and won’t do do for the remainder of the season. They are dead to me.

Trump was there and it was an exciting game. The viewers weren’t disappointed.

I’m no Alabama fan but I respect Saban and his ability to coach his players in the fundamentals of good blocking, tackling, etc. They rarely beat themselves.

I watched and I’m not a college football fan. I found it more riveting than any of the four NFL playoff games this weekend.

The Yankees of the 50s and 0s ruined baseball.

The Boston Celtics of the 60s and 70s and the Los Angeles Lakers of the 80s ruined pro basketball.

The New England Patriots are ruining pro football.

Now Alabama is ruining college football.

Sad.

In last night’s game it was obvious that the officials wanted Alabama to win the game. Too many missed calls. That simply can’t be an accident.

It was a great game. I had no rooting interest in either team, but it was really well-played, and made me respect Saban as a coach even more, though I can’t say I’m a fan.

Clearly Georgia was completely ready for the Jalen Hurts offense, and to put in an untested Freshman in that situation and have faith in him and have him perform at that level was just incredible.

UCF woulda beat em both, of course.
