dedicating 150 seconds of a pregame OTA national broadcast to extraneous content is not spontaneously or surreptitiously organized or executed
i have watched a thousand college games and never seen this before
speculation:
1 - neither disney, espn, abc, the league or the tower decided to do this for aggy to make them feel better about themselves
2 - after aggy broke the news of our arrival, a few months later texags spontaneously erupted with the 'news' that the first game would be at pyle
3 - aggy pissed, groaned, moaned, whined and bitched about this for a year until the schedule for this year was announced and lo and behold it came to pass
4 - somewhere between 2 and 3, the inclusion of the aggy lyrics and full 2.5 minutes of broadcast time were demanded "or else"
the support for this speculation is the kickoff time - it was pre-set and announced for 6:49pm a week early - following a 230pm broadcast (iron bowl) which was pushed back 20 minutes to 2:50pm and ended around 6:12pm - allowing more than 30 minutes for overtime should it have been neccessary
