28 in the afternoon (for those who didn't click spoiler.)

Do you remember all those players from N. Texas literally falling out when they played in Tuscaloosa a few years ago? I stopped counting when it was in the 20's.

I suspect there are going to be some Bulldog players, and fans, hurting that day. (I wonder if they'll bring their mascot?)
