No, I had to struggle through what I thought was an acceptable substitute, ESPN3, better known as the internet.
For all the people who said they weren't going to watch, the interent feed SURE WAS SLOW. It was so stuttery
that I just went to bed after halftime. I thought maybe there would be some dramatic comeback, but I REALLY said
as I strode off to bed, "This looks like a shutout comin sho nuf". What can I say, I know football.

No I don't have cable, I only watch four hours of TV a day, Charlie Rose, PBS Newshour, and whatever the
best broadcast shows from 7-9 happen to be. You can get stunning HD out of rabbit ears, mostly better quality than
cable or satellite HD. I miss some stuff, but I catch it on the webernet. I find cable shrinks the brain and spreads
the stomach.

Funny, I always thought it was the network primetime programming that did that, Brad. But what do I know, besides hockey I only watch a few hours of television a week.

That's because we already saw this abismal game, when it ended in a 9-6 score.

In fact, if I were LSU I would be pissed that we had to try to beat Alabama again. Tough task to beat a good team twice.

Preaching to the choir, Mike... I stand behind the argument that if your cannot win your conference, you cannot play for the MNC. Apparently, the masses(related to their tuning in) felt the same way or were just not interested in the match-up.

But I tried to watch, because it was the last time I would have the opportunity to watch CFB for the next 6+ months....and I do love CFB. As hard as I tried, I couldn't watch the game though... It was brutally boring. Toughed it through 2.5 quarters....

Next time you need a link to a good stream, let me know. Nobody should have to pay for TV because you already are when pay for the internet.
