And they got their moneys worth

We live on a main highway, and my brother went outside to get some fresh air, and he said that it was like Christmas. Not many cars on the roads during game time so I'd assume it was a well watched game by the State as well as nationally.

most everyone I know here in SJ ( friends and co workers) all said what a great IB it was.

I believe it, it was a great and entertaining game. I have watched it multiple times. I loved watching one video on YouTube of two Auburn commentators. The look on their faces when we started dominating in the second half is priceless.

It was an awesome game, and it had interest for a lot of people. Of course, nearly all of Alabama and Auburn fans were watching their teams on the biggest stage so far this year. But also because this game was extremely important to Baylor, TCU, and Ohio State fans because a Bama loss would have given them more security of being in the final 4 in the playoff rankings. Some were just watching for the rivalry. Some to see if excitement in this game could top last year's. Some because they just want Alabama and/or the SEC to finally be left out of the championship game.

Like so often before, the world was watching....and the Tide rolled.

It's hilarious. Those guys are such homers.

BTW, I want their job. Not covering Auburn, but to get paid to drink at a bar and talk about football. That's not a bad gig.

I like how the video starts with an ad for an alcohol rehab center.

Yes. I've been surprised. Rode the elevator up this morning with a half dozen folks, none of them with ties to Alabama or Auburn. They were all talking about the game.

At the end..all they can do is look at each other in silence after each and every touchdown we got. Haha.

It didn't do that for me. I think it's targeted advertising based on cookies in your browser and whatnot.

True video gold in the 2nd half. Thanks for posting LOL

Starting around 2:45:00 is the way to go with that video. Open up the replay on WatchESPN and get the clocks synced up and you've got an hour or so of entertainment.

It was the type of game that fans in other conferences like. We SEC fans who like defensive games are few. In addition to this the success of the programs, the intense rivalry, and the end of last year's game all equal a ratings dream for ESPN. They couldnt have asked for it to go any different than it did from a ratings perspective.

These type ratings for these type games are why the NCAA will not curtail the up-tempo offenses via rules changes.

Their faces after Amari's 75 yarder are priceless :biggrin:
