Hey -- if you're sitting around reading this, turn on ESPN2! The Ole Miss vs. Arkansas game is about to go into its FIFTH overtime! This is incredible -- I have never seen anything like this! Poor Katie must not have any nails left right now... (Updated to say: This is now the first six-overtime game in the history of NCAA overtime, which began in 1996! Then updated to say: It is now 50-50 as we enter the first seven-overtime game in NCAA football. Over four hours and five minutes of play thus far. Unbelievable! And then updated to say: Poor Katie! Arkansas wins 58-56 in the seventh OT, after Ole Miss failed to make the 2-point conversion. I didn't even realize it 'til this game, but it's mandatory to go for the 2-point conversion beginning in the third OT. This was, ironically, supposed to reduce the number of lengthy-overtime games. This game went into OT at 17-17!)
