re: Official Alabama vs Kentucky Game Thread

I didn't see it but I'm guessing Eric Church the country singer?? I actually like a few of his songs. Not too bad. Better than frickin Katy Perry or similar pop star people. Honestly though I don't understand why they have music stars and celebs as guest anyway. Why not popular retired athletes that are familiar to sports fans and have a love for the game? Seems like producers these days are out of touch with the fans. Or are we the minority and this is the desire of the average viewer to listen to a "rap music star" give his opinion on sports?
