Not a great game, but that's football sometimes. Domer defense is pretty good.

Alright, so now that IU has been exposed as a fraud, it's all on you, Georgia

As Belichick would say, "Do your fucking job."

The only thing I can quibble with is the broadcast. Crowd noise killed the announcing. This is the opposite of NBC which makes football sound like a tennis match.

It will be interesting to see how TNT does today with ratings.

The have PSU/SMU followed by UT/Clemson.

They are up against Texans/Chiefs and Steelers/Ravens.

I think TNT is gonna get crushed.

that's why it's on TNT

even on a real network, it was going to get crushed

I'd rather hear the crowd noise than the announcers

Two things: 
-they’ve actually tried that at times, and it’s not the best viewing experience for most folks. Even if you’re not listening to the announcer, the chatter kind of helps ground it.
-I think with most of these games. There is a skycam option, and it doesn’t have commentary. So if you want to just listen to the crowd, that’s not a terrible way to watch it.

did ESPN show the split screen (2) views the whole game?
That's the way the game started so my brother switched to ABC for the normal one view screen
I also don't want to listen to the Manning Bros or whomever babble

The command center? I think so. I think that also might’ve been the regular broadcast guys?

ESPNNews will have sky cast tonight. Might not have commentators

Same reason the SMU QB didn't just keep it for the 1st down.
20 year olds, dude.

This game belongs back in 1982, considering the teams and the records.  Very cool.
