could this half time possibly be any longer?

[Perdogg]

are we going to have the second half or will this game go on until 2am?

[Lawgvr1955]

Ok *is liking the UT band better so far* Sorry, USC.

Don't be too hard on the bands. Both are actually good bands. Its difficult to play and march at the same time and the microphone set up isn't conducive for good sound in such a situation.

Of course that doesn't take away from the fact that a Michael Jackson crotch grab isn't really for prime time IMHO.

[Rose in RoseBear]

I'll bet my cousin isn't rooting for UT tonight, either!

We're neighbors..Thanks for whatever works for you. Be "regional" is my motto. My TT grads sometimes do not "share" but they do indulge my regional enthusiasm.. I'd pull for the Sooners..somewhat ;).. over USC.

"I say if anything it sjopuld be Texas 16-3, how about that what if."

That's fine. The officiating has been so incredibly lacking that you can pretty much invent your own imaginary score. That's kind of what I was doing.

But not gang attacking Aggies with tossed chairs in the Lubbock stands...

Or trying to impale Aggies with the goal posts...

[Christian4Bush]

Yep. I liked Tusk. I was just thinking of it the other day.

I like it too, except for the chant that they do, during it: "U-C-L-A SUCKS!"

(Well, so far, UCLA won ITS last game...)

[Severa]

Oh the USC band was nice. I just didn't agree with their choice of song, is all. And you are right about marching vs mike placement.

"In the NFL the receiver must touch the ground with both feet within bounds after catching the ball to be in bounds. In the NCAA the receiver only needs to touch the ground with one foot within bounds after catching the ball. "

Unfortunately the NCAA website is being swamped right now for the "official" rules, which whiny pac 10 boy would likely demand after being presented with this.

[Cyclopean Squid]

Hopefully both teams play better than the second half Penn State and FSU. It's gonna be a wild ride. At least it's close and exciting.

We can hope it's an Upset.

Boomer Sooner, Sips!

[darkangel82]

Nope, hard to enjoy a game when reading their nonsense.

[hole_n_one]

USC seems to have forgotten that they're supposed to tackle the guy with the ball.

Given the rules of football, that's a real problem.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Nonsense, it was a split national championship. And frankly both were bogus, just winners of a beauty contest and a single game each, not a real playoff to determine a championship.

[Jet Jaguar]

LOL! Here we go again. Game is on.
