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.

Behind Jabrill Peppers of course.
In all honesty...I forgot Fournette and JT Barrett...next year is going to have some talented players, for sure.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:26 PM ^
Jinxed him.

No.
I can safely speak for the entire board and the rest of civilized humanity.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:03 PM ^
so what 2017 5 star will commit to OSU during this game and then decommits and goes to Michigan?
January 11th, 2016 at 9:03 PM ^
January 11th, 2016 at 9:03 PM ^
Thanks Old Spice
...you've made everyone think having a weird commercial means having a good commercial.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:04 PM ^
I think Lavert Hill and Rashan Gary are still looking at clemson...does that mean I dare be ok with a bama victory.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:11 PM ^
No. Then they will just go to Alabama.
If they are coming to Michigan they will come no matter what happens tonight.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:05 PM ^
This has been a fun game so far. I hope Clemson wins
January 11th, 2016 at 9:05 PM ^
I'm the Jaggernaut Bitch!
January 11th, 2016 at 9:06 PM ^
I've got crabs!
January 11th, 2016 at 9:06 PM ^
I liked that play. I could see us running that for Butt in 2016.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:08 PM ^
It was a coverage bust. It was a mistake by the D, not the offense.
I like the result better than the play.

Huuuge sack by Lawson

ESPN2 is like watching an ADD fever dream. There might be 4 screens going at one time.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:07 PM ^
Throw the ball away or die.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:09 PM ^
ESPN2 is dedicating too much screen to the backs of the talking heads.

Missed chipshot FG attempt lost a game yesterday.

Wait, what?
January 11th, 2016 at 9:09 PM ^
Hell yeah!

For all the players Alabama buys, you'd think they would invest in a kicker.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:09 PM ^
Damn. Talk about a miss.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:09 PM ^
Had anyone heard that before?
Apparantly the "red line" is 5-6 yards off the sideline and WRs are always supposed to run intside of it to give the QB room to throw it to the outside. Between the red line and the sideline.
Ridley didn't run on the red line and gave Coker no room to the outside on that deep ball.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^
Go Blue!
I hate both these teams!
January 11th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^
January 11th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^

Vince Young 2.0
I'm getting the chills.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^
January 11th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^
You're going back to the orphanage!
Alabama is going to get their points, but Clemson is starting to look a little Vince Young-like out there, and that type of player can beat up Alabama.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^
January 11th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^
the 1st 15-0 team and then realized that it won't matter soon cause someone will go 16-0 when they expand to 8 teams.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:13 PM ^
Clemson would not be the first 15-0 team. That stat is incorrect and not surprisngly brought up by lazy talking heads.
The 1897 Penn Quakers went 15-0.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:14 PM ^
good lawd.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:41 PM ^
2013 Bisons (divisions didn't exist in 1897 so we shouldn't only look at I-A).

Hand is 3rd on the depth chart at DE? Cray
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
January 11th, 2016 at 9:13 PM ^
I wonder if Hand is a bust or how crazy good is Alabama DL?
January 11th, 2016 at 9:17 PM ^
January 12th, 2016 at 12:58 AM ^
Hand got a good amount of time and made some plays. But yeah, Alabama's entire two-deep on the DL is all going to the NFL, many of them in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the draft.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:12 PM ^
Clemson making it look easy on this drive.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:12 PM ^
Clemson's offense with a guy like Watson at the head is terrifying.
