Then don't watch it.

It's the last college football game of the season. I'm a fan of Michigan football first, but I'm a fan of college football second.

In 2-3 weeks I'm going to be a fiend for any kind of college football. What's wrong with enjoying the finale just because your team isn't playing? It doesn't mean you have to root or like either team.

As I have gotten older, I find that I am less likely to watch a game unless I have a rooting interest.  I will watch at least part of this game because it is for the National Championship and I root for whoever plays Bama by default.  Unless, of course, that team is Sparty.  

Anyway, there is a very real possibility of Bama blowing out Clemson here.  I may not be watching by about five minutes into the third quarter.

I'm just lauging at you bringing up something that happened in September. It was the BYU game. You have to get over it.

However, I loved how every single week someone else would say the same thing and you'd go back to feeling all soft and emotional about it again. Crying about Corso.

You say salty...but yet, you found me tonight and brought it up. Something that's 4 months old when you overreacted and caught feelings over another message board poster.

lol, man up and quit acting off your feelings so doggone much.

I don't think it's the SEC as much as it's Alabama.

If this was 14-0 OSU versus 14-0 Clemson..they'd be slurping Urban and the Buckeyes all game.

It's just how it goes with ESPN...they ride whoever has been the best team over the years.

That's been Bama.

In the mid-00's, they were on their knees for USC non-stop. It's just what they do.

Fuck Bama! Lived there long enough and got tired of the fan base quick. Between them, Tennessee, OSU, and MSU I'd say they're the worst fan bases around. I respect the team and their winning tradition but hate them because of their fans. Go Blue!!

my least favorite announcer.  guarantee sometime in the 1st quarter some trivial miscue will happen like a 25 yd punt or a failure to convert on 3rd and 6 and he will dramatically drone on about 'remember that [fill in the screw up here] folks, it could be the turning point of the championship!'

and all that from a guy who never got picked for his 3rd grade kickball team, much less played a down of real football.

Because he doesn't do the premier games anymore. The exception is the Rose Bowl because that used to be Keith Jackson and they moved Musberger in as their old man/classic voice.

But Herbie and Fowler have done the National Championship and all the big games on Saturday for the past 2 years.

Musberger was relegated to the SEC Network with Jesse Palmer as his sidekick and Maria Taylor as the sideline reporter.
