7:00 P.M. Arizona State’s band has officially become one of the best marching bands in the world. In their biggest game of the season, they’ve decided to honor none other than Jake Plummer Guitar Hero. They performed several songs off the game before leaving the field to a great cheer. Red, blue, green. Green, blue, orange. Two points, Sun Devils.

7:05 P.M. The long line for dessert appears to be worth the wait. Not only did I come away with a slice of cake, I also landed some popcorn. Hopefully, this makes up for the mediocre barbecue food we had before kickoff.

7:15 P.M. Texas’ band is exactly why I love college football. There has to be a couple hundred band members in uniform, but they’re still moving in perfect unison. They managed to form both the state of Texas, as well as the famous Texas script. Guitar Hero is great, but you can’t beat Texas’ halftime tradition. But where the hell is Bevo?

7:18 P.M. The bands have given way to dancers and flag girls. Lots and lots of them. They’re joined by a handful of different local bands that are jamming to countless 1970s jams: Play That Funky Music, That’s The Way, Ladies’ Night, Jungle Boogie and Stayin’ Alive. In short, it’s a huge blend of great songs.

7:23 P.M. Oh look, YMCA.

7:25 P.M. A huge firework orgy caps off a very entertaining show. Unfortunately, in this cramped press box, we can’t see any of them.

7:30 P.M. The teams are coming back on the field. Sonny will bring you the 3rd quarter action and I’ll come back to wrap things up.
