It wasn't exactly unimaginable, but the design of the Super Bowl and its television coverage baffled Rock. The best he could understand, it had been put into place so the University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban could watch the game while college football was underway and without a requirement that he leave Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Someone had designed the television frequency in such a way that it was carried across the country on the equivalent of the electronically-generated yellow stripe that television had employed for the previous thirty years as the yard line teams needed to reach for a first down. As far as Rock could tell, it made the Super Bowl omnipresent within the broad confines of a football season. He tried to watch it in the middle of a game between Kansas State and Oklahoma, but he was far too sleepy to concentrate on both a mid-season college game and the Super Bowl at the same time.
