    But that special, traditional, New Year's Night Big 12-SEC matchup. So special.

    Probably a total non-starter, but in an attempt to think outside the box, why not have some intentional overlap, particularly in years where the Rose isn't a playoff bowl?

    For example, this year, we could do:
    Peach: 1 p.m. kick on ESPN
    Rose: 5 p.m. kick on ABC
    Fiesta: 8:15 p.m. kick on ESPN

    Ever since the new TV deal finally pulled the Rose Bowl off network TV, I see people bitch about it (Ironically enough, the GD Foster Farms Bowl was on network TV in primetime and had a 20-minute postgame show, and it was Indiana-Utah). Put it back on ABC, play up the tradition angle. Particularly if you have a matchup that lacks major crossover appeal, the audience can jump to the WWL in time for the main event, but it's unlikely that someone is going to be so married to the finish of the Rose Bowl that they miss the first quarter of a team they care about or vice-versa. I mean, hell, under the current system they didn't bring the Sugar Bowl onto ESPN until there were 3 minutes left in the first quarter.

    He just doubled down on it. Almost sounded like he was in a shouting match with some producer in his earpiece.

    Taking another pass at it isn't going to make it better, Brent.

    Someone got into Burnt Hamburger's ear because he was an asshat about Mixon earlier. His defiant defense makes him look/sound much more out of touch.

    That's a TD.

    If he's trying to take on Twitter, good luck. He'll need it.

    If Auburn has to put Jeremy Johnson in, go grab a good night's sleep. This bitch is cooked.

    At the rate he's going, Burnt's career will be the first 2017 celebrity death.

    Maybe Brent is buddies with Marv Albert who got a career second chance after violence (sexual) toward a woman.
