    There should have been a line on Penn State-Kent State, given that the Nits have shown the propensity to play down to MACtion.

    Bowling Green and Kent State are very different teams.

    Researcher: The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes.
    Pig Vomit: How can that be?
    Researcher: Answer most commonly given? "I want to see what he'll say next."
    Pig Vomit: Okay, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern?
    Researcher: Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day.
    Pig Vomit: But... if they hate him, why do they listen?
    Researcher: Most common answer? "I want to see what he'll say next."

    How often does the viewpoint change?

    No idea. But it will only get better from here. And hell, not like my viewpoint changes much from the upper deck.

    Exactly. My only question is whether the only view is from the end zone.
    I have never understood why anyone pays any price to watch a football game from the lower deck in an end zone. Some NFL teams now consider “sideline “ seating to be premium space. And I don’t get that at all.

    I was in the corner of the lower end zone with Georgia driving toward us for the "Hobnail Boot" game. No, it was not pleasant.

    After rewatching, looks like there were a couple of additional locations. Lower deck just past the 5 yard line and upper deck roughly around the 35. Might be limited by where they can put the cameras, but I’m guessing that expands along with the tech. Also looked like the stadium Jumbotrons might be fakes, but I’m not familiar enough with the Bog House to say. I did notice one of the side TVs in the virtual end zone box had the correct Fox touchdown graphic for the Texas score.
