    Somebody post the live broadcast link.

    And how do you take the chance of keeping people in the building until its been fully inspected?

    Put as many as you can in the lowest concourse... reinforced concrete works...I was in the BJCC last year during the high school finals when we had a similar bout of weather -- tornadoes hit about 15 miles northwest...

    The part of the building thats "damaged" is on the closed off section of the Dome. That said, those catwalks and the jumbotron was swaying. Hope those things are secure....or it wont be a good thing.

    I have now officially seen the acting SEC commish more than I have ever seen ol' Toothy Mike Slive.

    Tim Brando's doing a great Al Michaels and the whole Raycom crew's doing a great job with this.

    Looking at the radar still image, not sure if that cell behind it is on the same path.

    Not that this is important with everything else that's going on, but the TV idiot just said "normalcy."

    Agreed. They have done a decent job for being in-game with this going on.

    Not bad for the syndicate.

    Joe Dean quoted BHM weather pinhead James Spann... I threw up in my mouth a little bit... OK, more than a little.


    Nothing says invisible like Mike Slime...

    Is that Lewis Grizzard working as a Raycom cameraman?

    Perhaps Tennessee's win over South Carolina caused this.

    Its been about since 1998 since that school has won a game in that building.
