Count Chris Simms among those college football fans who couldn’t stay awake to see the thrilling end of the Texas-Washington College Football Playoff semifinal.
Simms, a Texas alum who played quarterback in Austin from 1999 to 2002, appeared on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz on Friday and was presumably going to provide some analysis of the CFP games. However, Simms quickly admitted that he had little to say about the Longhorns’ matchup with the Huskies because he fell asleep toward the end of the game.
“The f------ game is on too late,” Simms said. “I missed the end of the game. I fell asleep. I didn’t mean to; I didn’t make a conscious effort. But between it being New Year’s [Eve] the night before and then the game doesn’t start until 9 p.m., and then college games last forever, as we know, I fell asleep somewhere it was 34–21.”
