The clubhouse leader for worst halftime act this postseason is the Liberty Bowl, which trotted out Eddie Money to sing "Two Tickets to Paradise." Presumably, he wasn't talking about the Liberty Bowl, which featured East Carolina's Ben Hartman missing four of five field-goal attempts in 20-degree weather.
Money seemed so out of place shivering in the Memphis cold, but his stay as worst act could be short-lived. The Orange Bowl, which regularly features an over-the-top halftime show, will have Kool & and the Gang performing Tuesday night. Perhaps it should be Cool & the Gang because temperatures in South Florida could dip into the 30s by kickoff.
I remember seeing ZZ Top during the halftime of the Orange Bowl between VTech and Kansas, and thinking it was freezing because it was in the 50s with rain and wind.
Now that I've lived in Alaska for two years, I really would like some 30-degree temperatures.

Eddie Money kicked ass IMO. It was a shame they tape delayed hos performance (by a few mins) and only showed us about half of it instead of the entire thing. So what that he was cold (and we were laughing at his red cheeks)?
Money still kicks ass!

I'm an ECU alum and I was there. As an eyewitness to this field goal kicking debacle and general Memphis ghettoness, I was a little surprised to see Eddie Money (didn't know he was still around/alive).
On a "positive" note- he did get +55,000 frozen realtree clad arkanasans singing in unison. Until that point I thought they were only capable of pig calling and chanting "SEC".
