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.
Sounds of the Game (ESPN Classic): This is ESPN’s game telecast sans commentators and includes full coverage of the pregame on-field entertainment and halftime band performances.
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.

Wow..Watson is really good..
January 11th, 2016 at 9:12 PM ^
I wonder how Harbaugh would do in this coach's corner thing?
January 11th, 2016 at 9:12 PM ^
Man, Michigan would be rolling these teams right now.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:13 PM ^
Wow. What a grab!
January 11th, 2016 at 9:13 PM ^
Man, Watson is soooooo good.

Is this the end of the Alabama empire?

Well, Saban is 64. He's not going to do this at this level for too much longer.

Why isn't he leaving this year? He has to be the #1 QB in the draft.

Not going to lie - watching the coaches on ESPN2 is sorta fun. They really do break down some of these plays, like how the Alabama LB just froze there and opened up the throwing lane.

ESPN did a segment on it.
He asked the player if he could wear his retired number and after turning down a bunch of players...he said yes to Watson because he's such a good guy academically and does a ton in his community.

nice to see Bama give up 14 pts in the 1st QT
January 11th, 2016 at 9:16 PM ^
Just a minute ago everyone was worried about a Bama blowout. Now they're down 7.

This is a bad matchup for Alabama. They always have trouble against mobile QBs running a spread and massacre anyone who runs a pro style.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:22 PM ^
over match Harbaugh's pro style offense, we'll be just that bad ass!!!!
January 11th, 2016 at 9:17 PM ^
What the hell Sparty?
January 11th, 2016 at 9:23 PM ^
Comment of the night, so far. Would love to see Clemson win comfortably.

Is Watson coming back next year?
January 11th, 2016 at 9:23 PM ^
he is a true soph
January 11th, 2016 at 9:26 PM ^
I was actually being sarcastic because of all the comments about him winning the Heisman or being the #1 pick next year.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:19 PM ^
Hell of a lot of football left to play, but this is the kind of team and quarterback that gives Alabama fits. Newton. Manziel. Jones. Perhaps Watson now?
