I thought so...

Evenin’ steel...

I'm keeping an eye on Tebow tonight...

Hello, everyone!

We’re listening to the game, too! Go Tebow!!!

Hi Gina. He’s looking good, still a long way to go...

Hello everyone. I’m torn over the game or BB. Probably go back and forth. NCG is all I really care about. Roll Tide!

I love Bing.

Drudge is keeping a running update of the score on the “top story” spot!

I see that, and have been wondering if it was too early to run the “magic” headline.

I love Bing.

Oh, me too! His voice has the smoothest, richest sound!

His voice is like a dream. Few singers are comparable.

He’s my favorite, up there with Nat.

OVERTIME!!! WOW!!!

We’re having to catch the last two minutes and now overtime. We’ll tune back in to the BB after overtime...

Denver won the toss.
