I'm getting ready to. And while this game is an exaggerated example it isn't the first time a game has gone to many rounds.

But you didn't turn your TV off. Your limit for OTs is obviously more than 7.

Serious question: At what point would you have turned your TV off? 8 OTs? 9? 10? I would've watched this all night. It was awesome and one of the many reason why college football is the best sport.

I was in the process of wrapping things up and turning off the TV when it ended.

If I want to see pinball scoring I will watch arena football. Yes I was getting bored.
 
We went to the Iron bowl yesterday. I want to preface this by saying as a former auburn student I hate Alabama with the heat of a thousand suns. As a general football fan, I hate Alabama more than anything you can imagine. I have never attended the Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa and I am blown away by the game day experience, nothing I have been to compares to it. I see a lot of similarities to Alabama and USC in terms of historical significance and just being big time programs and they made the USC games feel so lethargic. I don’t know how a recruit doesn’t commit immediately after a game there. From the very beginning when they march on the field with all of their national and SEC championship banners, to the fact that it was full and loud during the players coming out. Their shakers were always going after ever first down when they would yell Roll Tide. They played songs and the entire stadium was singing, dancing, and shaking those ****ing shakers. I just couldn’t get over how in unison and how loud the entire stadium was. It was like going to Catholic Church where the priest does a reading and everyone gives the response. The fans were very confident but also very excited to be destroying Auburn. I overheard a lot of conversations talking about how they would not be playing Michigan in the playoff now, completely not worried about Auburn or the SEC championship game. With all of that being said **** those guys!
 
Coaches got in a fight after the LSU-TAMU game ended last night.


Apparently what happened is that someone from TAMU got chippy and pushed or punched LSU's offensive analyst Steve Kragthorpe in the chest. Kragthorpe has Parkinson's and a pacemaker. LSU assistant saw it & heard Kragthorpe say "he got me in the pacemaker" -- and jumped in to throw down with the TAMU guy.

Great report! How was Dixieland Delight? Sounds like they couldn't keep it clean from what I've read.

Bama raked in three Top 300 recruits for 2020 based on that experience, two are top 30ish.

WDE!

Oof, the talent differential is kinda depressing.

I didn’t notice that it was too bad, but it was definitely a sight to see them sing it and all the shakers going. I always liked that song but now I kind of have to hate it a while. My wife, who grew up in Alabama, was saying she was going to kill somebody if she heard roll tide or sweet home Alabama again. I kind of agree.
 
As I mentioned earlier in this thread my son and went to Athens for the GT-Georgia game which started at noon. Once I realized that South Carolina-Clemson was at 7pm and we drive almost right by Clemson coming home that this was a great chance to pull off both games. We got into Athens Friday afternoon and that is a great college town with all the shops, restaurants, bars and a few hotels right across the street from campus. Sanford Stadium is a great setting nestled right into the heart of campus. The game wasn't close at all with UGA looking very sharp on both sides of the ball. The only TD they gave up to GT was a kickoff return until GT got 2 late TD's in garbage time. We kind of expected a lopsided game but that worked out well since it gave us a chance to head out early and get on the road to Clemson.

It took a little under 90 minutes to get from Athens to Clemson in a drive that was roughly an equal split of rural 2-lane roads and interstate. The town of Clemson is very small consisting of pretty much just the university with a limited number of bars/restaurants. The scene in Clemson walking around near campus was far more electric and rowdy than Athens but the Clemson game being later in the day undoubtedly played a big part in that, plus it definitely seems like the USC-Clemson rivalry is bigger than UGA-GT. The tailgate scene around Death Valley seemed endless as far as you could see. We were sure to make it into our seats in time to see the Tigers make their famous run down the hill.

On the field Clemson gave up the most points they've given up all season and South Carolina receivers were running free in numerous occasions, which could be a bit of a concern for Clemson against someone like OU in the semifinal but that's not a likely matchup anyway.

We didn't get home from Clemson until about 2am but it was well worth it and was an awesome experience going to 2 big-time settings and getting to see 2 top-5 teams in the process.

I read this to my wife and she was immediately jealous. I reminded her we went to iron bowl because HER parents are in alabama. She said we are ditching them and going to Athens next year.

Ha that's good. The biggest games in Athens next year are against ND and A&M. It's the first time that they're playing A&M since the Aggies joined the conference.

Did a somewhat similar thing when the Buffs played in Athens in 2006. Except Clemson played at the same time so we took in the game at Furman instead. Furman RB went Al Bundy and then some with 6 TDs. Furman fans kept giving us props for almost beating GA earlier that day.

And there will be an opening at Clemson

Pretty scary situation, but here's some humor on it:
