COFFEE RUSH
At halftime the game's leading rusher is Alabama's Glen Coffee (12 rushes, 48 yards). He is totally caffeinated!
*************
Umpire Mike Rhoades was injured in the first half and is being taken to the hospital with a rotator cuff injury. The irony, as our kindly P.A. announcer noted, is that Rhoades was set to retire after tonight's game.

Tonight's sideline reporter: Stacey Dales-Not-Shuman, who currently is ranked in our top five of Blonde Canadians (ahead of Pamela Anderson, but behind Sarah Chalke).

Why are you watching Colts-Titans? That's mental! You should be watching the Independence Bowl. By the way, does anyone know how come there is still a Liberty Bowl and an Independence Bowl but there is no longer a Freedom Bowl? Is it because "freedom isn't free"?

Why you should be watching the Independence Bowl: because it was a year and a day ago that Texas Tech overcame the largest deficit in bowl history, 28 points, to defeat Minnesota in overtime (and help cost Glen Mason, a.k.a. Robert Culp, his job). Bowlnanza was there (yes, I'm now referring to myself both in the third person and as an inanimate object, though, being a sportswriter I technically am).
Tonight CU fell behind 27-0, but it's now 27-14 and the Buffs are threatening to score...whereas midway through the first half we all were threatening to snore.
Alright, my babies, I'm going down to the field for a bit to collect some photographs for y'all.

About this blog
NBCSports.com's John Walters goes into the world of college sports and well beyond. From Notre Dame to the latest in pop culture, JDub tackles it all.
Thinking about the Intangibly Patriotic Trifecta of the Liberty, Freedom and Independence bowls, I'd like to see college football take off in an otherwise dismal third-world country that lacks the joys of a democratic society. Then you could have the Oppression Bowl, the Disenfranchised Bowl and the San Diego County Credit Union Indentured Servitude Bowl.
How about the bowl that has the worst name resale value: Foreclosure Bowl.
