Classic? Calm down. It's been a ridiculously ugly game between two mediocre teams.

Having said that, Tennessee better win this shit-fest.

This game had as good a 4th quarter as any non bowl game i have seen in years.

Lead swung like 5 times in last 7 minutes.

If the OT was more exciting this would have entered ESPN Classic no doubt

I'd argue that ESPN Classic airs games that aren't really classics...just like I'd argue that there are articles on the ESPN.com news wire aren't really news.

Shouldn't a game have more than one exciting quarter to be deemed a "classic?" Or less than six combined turnovers? Or three missed FGs? I think so, but maybe that's just me.

The fourth quarter was exciting, though, I agree.

Agree with your point that a "classic" should be exciting gameplay from start to finish ala Boise State, but many "classics" were just great second halfs and finishes, like Rams vs Titans, Giants/Pats SB, come to think of it there really are no nonbowl or nonplayoff classics in Football that i can think of:ohno:

The USC game where Bush pushed Lienert in was a "classic" and the game sucked IMO
