Guess I'll be watching the Super Bowl for the 1st time. Well, at least part of it! :)

But what about that time, 8:05 AM, shouldn't that be PM? Anyone know the exact time in the Central time zone?

[SHANIANUTS!]

That is the time of the press release - the super bowl starts at 6 pm est I believe with pre game hoopla and the game itself probly starts at 7 or so so halftime and SHANIA should be on around 830 pm give or take a little.

[Ammoguy]

I think that 8:05 AM was just for the press release. I mean when it was released in paper??
