Ping's BCS Title Game Bowl Blog
Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore covers the BCS championship game, which features the Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners. Kickoff from Miami is set for Thursday at 8:15 p.m.
10 p.m. Thursday -- Nice View The game is under way. I am sitting in the east end of the stadium. Not a bad seat. Gators look good. The last team with ball wins!
7 p.m. Thursday -- Gators On Field Game on. The team is on the field. My live shot is over. I can't wait. Can you?
E-mail me during the game.
1 p.m. Thursday -- Fans At Stadium Everyone is gearing up for the big game! Fans have started arriving at Dolphin Stadium -- game on! I did a live shot at noon. Very chaotic. We had a live truck break down. Good thing we had a backup plan. Chat with you soon. Go Gators!
10 p.m. Wednesday -- Preparing For TV I just arrived at Dolphin Stadium, an hour before Local 6 News at 11 starts. I love being live on TV. It's a great rush! Unfortunely, being live in an empty parking lot poses problems -- no bathroom. I will leave it at that. I'm looking forward to getting some zzz's! Long day again tomorrow. Can't wait for the game. See you in a hour.
8:30 p.m. Wednesday -- Rain Stops, Dinner Served The rain has stopped. Thank goodness. Part of the fanfest was rained out. It would have been fun to see that, but Mother Nature is doing her thing in Miami!
We just had a great dinner. The bowl committee served up steak and crab legs. Yummy! Now I am getting ready for 11 p.m. show -- I have two hits. If you get a moment, send me an e-mail at
dpingalore@wkmg.com. I might have time for a shout. Let me know what you think is going to happen in the game! See you on Local 6 News at 11!
6:14 p.m. Wednesday -- Cold Front Pushes Through Things down here outside of Dolphin Stadium? Terrible! Rain, rain go away. A cold front is sweeping through. Good thing sports photographer Tee Taylor had an umbrella. Other than that, everything is well. The Gators are prepared as ever for the game. Can't wait until I get to eat.
