Took my son, niece and nephew to the LSU game. I had a thought during the game that I've never had before. If I wasn't already a fan of college football, I don't think I would become one. The game is exciting, the action fantastic, the fans are passionate. But holy hell the game moves way too slow. There was a point early 2nd quarter where this thought occurred, and then I couldn't get it out of my mind every time the commercial break guy with the countdown sign starting at 3:25 would come on the field.
2nd quarter, LSU snaps it with 14:26 on the clock, 1st and goal. 33:30 in real time on my DVR.
Call is reviewed to see if it's a TD. It is.
Extra point.

9:23 on the game clock, 58:56 on my DVR when LSU snaps it on 1st down.
In summary, 5:06 off the game clock. 17 plays, of which, 2 were KOs unreturned, 1 was an XP, 1 was a FG. 3 commercial breaks, a review, and an injury. Over 25 minutes in real time to see 13 football plays. LSU's offense didn't touch the ball for 25 minutes.
