Definitely considered it. Doing some research now into the fan fest stuff. Gotta imagine there is something worth walking around and checking out.

Go see Usher Usher at Curtis Hixon Park today, hit up the tailgate party at amalie arena and the convention center Watch the various ESPN shows tomorrow before the game.

 

[ryan-ts]

Yeah Dalvin Cook never lived up to potential either. He was never even invited to new York for Heisman festivities.

Derrick Henry did some things at times.

Trent Richardson, that enigma, wins 2 championships and 2nd in the Heisman, but no one remembers that anymore.

TJ Yeldon had a very nice career, but got sandwhiched along with Eddie Lacy, Trent Richardson and Derek Henry.


Waiting and Seeing on how Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough turn out

Lol, they're bums.

I love all the stuff they are doing around Tampa. The game is a nice showcase for the city.

Wow so the Alabama commit showed up at Alabama?

Who woulda thunk it

Don't say that like he wasn't purposefully teasing he might go to Michigan.

 

[bucknuticus]

Has Michigan moved into an "up and coming program" territory yet?

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

That's Western. Michigan is a "has been".

 

[Yaboosh]

Arguable.

lol this .gif from the NFL thread is hilarious. I wonder who the recruit is and which school he picked (and the school the kid wanted him to pick)

Was he though?

Kid wanted him to pick Ohio State. He picked UCLA.

At least this stupid recruiting saga is over.

[Talon]

Most 5 star RBs are overrated. Guys like Kevin Grady and Derrick Green are rare exceptions to that rule, those guys were true superstars.

Why so salty?

 

[sf2fanatic]

So Floy, I expect you to call in during the game tomorrow.

 

[jstevenson]

Darnay Holmes, 5-star DB

What a shit show that recruitment was. Kid was a silent to multiple schools and was flip-flopping everywhere.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Why so salty?

The sarcasm appears to be lost on everyone.

What's the actual kickoff time tonight ie when the game starts vs all of the pregame ESPN bs?

 

[andycapps]

What's the actual kickoff time tonight ie when the game starts vs all of the pregame ESPN bs?

It's at least 8:30. I'm guessing around 8:45.

 

[Vanillalite]

It's at least 8:30. I'm guessing around 8:45.

That's late, but it works in my favor. Wife said she'd watch with me since she is off tonight, and that gives us time to get the kids ready for bed without me missing a bunch of the game.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

It's at least 8:30. I'm guessing around 8:45.

I think it'll be closer to 7:15 (so 8:15 for you ET folks).

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Booted up my NCAA 14 game and downloaded the latest roster..

Time for the offseason after tonight

 

[andycapps]

I think it'll be closer to 7:15 (so 8:15 for you ET folks).

The Rose Bowl was 30 min late so I'd assume this'll at least be that late.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Bye Curtis

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

next man up, its your time to shine Demario

[Chris R]

Taking off work one hour early so I can get home in time for the start of the game.

Do we know exactly when kickoff is?

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Media really riding with Clemson. Hope the team makes a hell of a statement tonight.

It'll be sometime between 7:10-7:30/8:10-8:30 ET.

I'm amused at Alabama nation finding ways to feel disrespected.

 

[Lonestar]

I'm amused at Alabama nation finding ways to feel disrespected.

Alabama disrespected itself by giving up 40 points last year.

Mother fucker, you're disrespecting us right the fuck now.

Shit, you'll hit middle horizontal bingo in just the previews for the game.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Whether or not it's disrespectful is kinda irrelevant. Vegas favors Alabama. The media is leaning towards Clemson. These are simple observations, sir. No more, no less.

Sitting in class ready to run through a brick wall.

Between you and Lonestar yall carrying Bama-gaf like King Henry pulled Ole Long Ball himself to the NCG.

We've had years of practice.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have a great feeling with Demario/Weber and Wilson calling the plays.

 

[toadsworth]

Watching the game at the local Clemson bar. Should be a good time! Go tigers.

Apparently this was the hype video played for the team: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=4IiRdyfuZ3U

Dang it I just saw this and was coming to add it. Dude on FB had over 14k views and 4k shares since yesterday.

Pretty neat video. Saban knows what he is doing.

I actually think it's kind of shit, but as long as y'all like it it's cool. I guess I just quibble more with the overall direction and quality of the production. Was that an official video?

I've definitely seen better, but I like it. Don't know who did it, just know it was shown to the team. Seems to fit the moment, though.

These last 4 hours are gonna drag.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I'm obviously super biased, but I like Clemson's hype video more:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YyrI2XVV7Q

Though it looks like the Alabama one isn't official.

Edit: Also, that Alabama one is trying to sell them the role of being the underdog, which just seems so odd.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

You have eyes, man. I don't think they're being disrespected, but acting oblivious to Clemson being the favorite pick everywhere outside of Vegas is, lol. Some of the players have basically said as much. That's not stupid on their part, just them reacting to the media (which I kinda hate, they tend to block that out).

Y'all have a hell of a squad and could very well beat us tonight. You'd have to be an idiot to disagree.

I saw it more as drawing a parallel between people selling Ali short even though they knew he was great, and him not hearing it and just going out to be great.

Didn't think it was an official video, thought it was well done all things considered. Too often there are too many jump cuts or really loud audio in these vids. If I had to change a few things, I'd use a little less Ali clips, clean up the vo and audio more and make sure to use better game footage. I like the message though.

I don't know that everyone is picking Clemson insomuch as they want someone other than Bama to win it.
