Kicking off now at 3:40. Nobody's punctual anymore.

Got off work just in time. I got Bama and the over.

Hoping for a decent game so I don’t have to go take down Christmas lights

Nice drive by Cincy, but that TE screen on third down is an awful call against Bama. They’re not going to steal this game by playing cautiously.

Alabama always uses those large cardboard signs on the sidelines,,, anyone know what the upside down Bills logo is for? you’d think the opponents would know by now.

That was stupid, going Offside on the FG.

Noticed that as well.  Does it have anything to do with Doug Marrone (who is now the Alabama line coach - Oh Doug....)?

So glad that guy chose the career path he did.

This game is a joke.

Cmon, no more Group of 5 teams in the national playoffs please (unless they expand to 8+ teams).  

Is that too reactionary based on one half of football?!? lol

Desmond Ridder isn't making a case for him being a starting caliber NFL QB.

Was that mahomes they just showed in the stands?

With Travis Kelce, who played at Cincinnati.

Yes, because Bama will probably do the same thing to Georgia or Michigan next game. Notre Dame would probably  be down 35-0 by this point, considering their playoff history. Bama is just ridiculously better than everyone in college football. The other SEC has been average in Bowl games, so I don’t think group of 5 teams should be punished, regardless of outcome here. Bama just makes everyone look awful. Unfortunately, some will use it to fuel an anti mid major bias.

Yeah, I get why Kelce would want to be there but not a great look by either of them to have gone to Dallas when they have a huge game in Cincy in less than 48 hours
