Also from the start of her first note to the end of her last note, the Anthem was 121 seconds.

Just fyi, I think I mentioned this before, every book everywhere times this from the start of the music, not the first word.

It was actually the reason the number for the over/under was so high, because they figured opera singer = long orchestration...

According to google the number is 1min53. Vegas was way off

I watched it on Youtube. It was 2min1 second. Going with that. Did my own timing.

Works for me. I had 2:02 on my timing.
At least we are better than vegas with clock keeping.

Detour #2: Prospects or Points

Option #1: Predicting the ESPN Top 30 recruiting classes. I will judge the Final Rankings at 8 a.m. Saturday.

You rank the top 30 teams. You get 2 seconds of time for each spot you are off for each team.


Option #2: College Basketball. There are 9 ranked teams playing Wednesday night. You must choose players from those teams that will score exactly 100.
You will receive 1 second of time for each player you choose and 5 seconds of time for each point you are off.

Picks are due Wednesday morning by 6 a.m. EST

In addition, Average Joes have been U-Turned and must do both sides

Ouch.

Really we are using Rivals for our college recruiting??? Rivals has been 2nd rate for a couple years now after 24/7 sports.

Assuming that if we rank a team 22 and they aren't ranked we would get penalized as if they were 26th? (Ie 8 seconds?)
