Michael Reghl and Jerod Cherry put together what I think will always be history's greatest three-hour performance of saying the word football.
I'm so excited to display the results, but first: Amanda Sauer made her debut as the first female head referee & that's a huge thing. And also Tarik Cohen looked like Barry Sanders' little brother Harry Sanders in helping N.C. A&T pull the upset with a four-overtime, 39-36 victory.
But this was the Michael and Jerod Show.
