Films vs Bama/LSU.

The former is probably a better experience than the latter. But we are addicted to college football.

 

[Lake View Too]

The films will always be there, perhaps somewhat hard to find, but the Bama game is going to be an event! It's halftime now, and it's been non-stop hard-hitting SEC football. The defenses are dominating so far, but the next 30 minutes might be too much to take!

Seriously? We are talking about a college football game on the Mountainfilm thread?
