National Championship MEGACAST open thread
This is kind of ridiculous, but I'd download and watch every version if Michigan was in this game and won it.
Traditional TV broadcast (ESPN): This is your typical TV broadcast featuring Chris Fowler calling play-by-play, Kirk Herbstreit as the analyst, Heather Cox on the Clemson sideline and Tom Rinaldi on the Alabama sideline.
Traditional radio broadcast (ESPN Radio): This is your typical radio broadcast, featuring Mike Tirico calling play-by-play, Todd Blackledge as the analyst, Holly Rowe on the Alabama sideline and Joe Schad on the Clemson sideline.
Film Room (ESPN2): ESPN analysts Brian Griese and Chris Spielman, along with Florida head coach Jim McElwain and other additional guests, will provide in-depth analysis of the game as it happens from a film room equipped with multiple camera angles, clicker technology and telestration at ESPN’s Bristol, Conn., headquarters.
ESPN Voices (ESPNEWS): ESPN personalities watch the game from Los Angeles in a living room-type atmosphere. Participants include Teddy Atlas, Michelle Beadle, Jay Bilas, Taylor Twellman and Marcellus Wiley. Additional guests could be added.
Homer Telecast (ESPNU): Joe Tessitore will host former Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd and former Alabama center Barrett Jones in the booth, along with other quasi-‘game analysts’ with a decidedly partisan view towards their alma maters.
Finebaum Film Room (SEC Network): Paul Finebaum, Greg McElroy, Booger McFarland and Bret Bielema watch the game and provide their instant analysis and reaction while also take live calls throughout the game. Fans can interact by tagging their tweets with #FinebaumFilmRoom.

Command Center (ESPN Goal Line): This broadast features a full-time split screen application showing the live game action, immediate replays of every play, isolated camera feeds of both head coaches, enhanced statistics, real time drive charts and the ESPN Radio broadcast.
Spanish-Language Call (ESPN Deportes): Tjis is the Spanis-language broadcast of the game, featuring Lalo Varela, Pablo Viruega, Bernardo Osuna and Carlos Nava..
Mock Replay Booth (ESPN3): Current and former ACC and SEC replay officials take viewers through the full process of reviewing every play from their recreated replay booth set up in Bristol.
Pylon Cam (ESPN3): This broadcast is exactly as it sounds — a continuous stream of the cameras being fed from the eight pylons surrounding the field, both at the goal lines and for the first time from the backlines of the end zones.
Home Town Radio (ESPN3): Each team’s radio announcers will call the game with a customized viewing experience that includes full time isolated shots of head coaches and star players.
Data Center (ESPN3): This broadcast will include significant on-screen graphic content ranging from analytics, real time drive charts, win probability updates, curated social media reaction and more.
Spider Cam (ESPN3): This will be a continuous feed of the “spider cam” that maneuvers above the field of play.
Taco Bell Student Section (ESPN3): Cameras in the Taco Bell student sections — focusing on students, bands, mascots (LOL) and cheerleaders of each team — will focus on how the most enthusiastic fans in the building are reacting with every play.

I have a baaaad feeling about this. Clemson is going to get rolled.
Fuck Alabama. Fuck the SEC.

After big plays...I highly recommend you turn to ESPN 2. The breakdown is just awesome. All of the coaches instantly see what made the play work.
Apparently the tempo got Clemson and they didn't line up correctly. Speilman, Muschamp and Narduzzi (3 defenses guys) all mentioned at the same time that there were missing a LB in the gap.
Great stuff.
I like Fowler and Herbie during the game, but when the big play happens, it's awesome to hear the coaches break it down and share their thoughts.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:58 PM ^
Love it.

January 11th, 2016 at 8:55 PM ^
Just said the same thing above...the commentary after the run was awesome. It's crazy how they all picked it up so quickly.
Maybe I'm not as smart as I think I am?

That, my friends is what I was hoping Michigan would be seeing out of Isaac. It also helps when the OLB misses his assignment.

If Clemson gets on the board, this could be a fantastic slugfest.

Stupid camera angle is stupid.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:58 PM ^
Clemson seems intent on keeping Watson throwing, which is the worst way to battle Alabama. Watson in the open is more dangerous, and he seems too amped up right now.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:58 PM ^
One TD in and people are freaking out saying it's gonna be a blowout.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
This game is obviously over. Clemson can't scor.....oh
January 11th, 2016 at 8:59 PM ^
Can't wait til we have one of those gaudy "diamond" jumpmans on our jerseys next year for the Playoff.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:59 PM ^
get a score here

I never thought I'd see a grown man sitting in the stands of a football game with stick'em gloves. That brings new meaning to "bringing your glove to the ballgame."
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
Okay. I am mildly impressed with that.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
OMG It's going to be a blowout! I have to turn it off now.
Oh wait.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
That's a great throw.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
nice throw and catch
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
TD!!
That's it Clemson, get those 300 lb. Alabama DL's chasing their tails.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
January 11th, 2016 at 9:01 PM ^
Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that.

Wow - what a throw
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
maybe Clemson's offense can keep them in it
January 11th, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
"I beleive" like the answer score.

Watson's accuracy is unreal.
Give him the Heisman for next year.
Hogan is gone and everyone is going to be keying on McCaffrey...won't help, but he can't be as good, can he?

He is.
Watson, McCaffrey, Greg Ward at Houston and Baker Mayfield should all be right there in the mix.
