Oh, the irony. During Mississippi State games, my timeline is always filled with many tweets filled with the angst of cowbells, “CLANGA” and, well, colorful descriptions of the metal-on-metal sounds of Davis-Wade stadium:
Damn these redneck vuvuzelas.

Probably the best description of cowbells I have ever heard. But that wasn’t the only thing “driving” Bama fans nuts:
ESPN you are about to cause a meltdown showing Nascar post-race ceremony

OK HE DROVE IN A CIRCLE FAST NOW FOOTBALL PLEASE.

There hasn’t been a meltdown like this since about a month ago, when many DirectTV customers were blacked out for 10 minutes on ESPN during the Alabama/Kentucky game.
I would like to meet these “some people” that call AJ a “game manager.” Oh, those people are at ESPN? Ok, just checking.
Indeed. The ratings for that game would be quite low. There was a lot of discontent from Bama Fans on the performance of the game.
We want (last week's) Bama!

There were some surprising hits, though. You know, like this one:

Collision Insurance time.

It makes no difference whether that was a catch or not a catch, because replay booths just roll 20-sided dice at this point.

Seems the officials were not in the best shape to be making calls. Even the replay booth missed an faux interception that, after closer look, should have been overturned.
There's been a Cowbell Cam. A Kiss Cam. And a Future Bulldog Cam. Whats next? A Camera Cam?

Ball cam is next. Gonna make everyone sick watching it.
How does Todd not visit the same place over again? But it’s true: Starkville doesn’t have much to offer in terms of local cuisine. Been there twice, ended up eating the Student Union Building
And a few more bonus tweets for you:
Cody Mandell putting on a punting clinic tonight.

Only Alabama can turn the ball over 4 times and still win by double-digits
