Known otherwise as the ESPN money making game.

For fans you complain about boring football, you got one last night. As I understand it, the sec champ could not beat the third place tide jv team. I assume it was a jv team, the announcer kept saying something about freshman playing.

I fell asleep.

KuesoKen51 · January 9, 2018, 3:05pm

Wow. That was boring? Huh.

Box Score indicates Jalen Hurts played some but I don’t know if he was benched or got hurt.

Y’all missed a hell of a second half and OT. That was fun.

First half was boring football by the second half and overtime was great football to watch.

I just watched it. Georgia choked

TEXREG · January 9, 2018, 6:21pm

In my opinion at the beginning of the second half the refs did everything they could to get Alabama back into the game with calls and blatant non-calls.

cougarrick · January 9, 2018, 6:23pm

Yes I saw that too. I think UCF beats those teams too.

The SEC championship, was a really good game. I didn’t watch it but the recaps show a good game.

It was a mostly uninteresting game with occasional moments of excitement.

SamHouston1 · January 9, 2018, 8:29pm

??? Great game. Don’t understand how a college football fan would miss it because of some grievance but to each his own.

SWCoog · January 9, 2018, 8:45pm

Some people here are losing their damn minds. Like not watching movies anymore because the one you like didn’t get an Oscar.

PWRCOOG · January 9, 2018, 8:56pm

Great game last night.

delmarred · January 9, 2018, 9:09pm

I went to see The Darkest Hours instead. Enjoyed it a lot.

H-Town · January 9, 2018, 9:10pm

I don’t watch the Oscars, and I don’t watch games Houston is not playing in or the AAC is not playing in. I am not a “college football” fan, I am a Houston Cougar fan.

SWCoog · January 9, 2018, 9:14pm

I think you missed the point I was making. A lot of people here “boycotted” the game because they were upset a school, that wasn’t their own alma mater, didn’t get consideration.

1985coog · January 9, 2018, 9:51pm

I have twin toddlers, no way I’m commiting to anything that ends after 830 these days.

SamHouston1 · January 9, 2018, 10:27pm

Fair enough. I love the game. I’m a huge Cougar fan, but I’ll never forget Texas-Arkansas in '69 when I was just a little kid, Alabama-Penn State, Miami-Nebraska, SWC games, etc. Like I said to each his own.

I saw Darkest Hour a couple of weeks ago. Great film and performance by Gary Oldman.
