Bama vs. Southern Miss vs. NASCAR

I'm watching both the Bama game, 7-0 at 14:07 in the first quarter (good start!) on ESPN2 and the NASCAR race on TNT, which was exciting for the first few laps, but has settled down a bit now at lap 13. I have to feel a bit of sympathy for Southern Miss, because they took a hit in Katrina, but Bama is my team so I'm rooting for them. Bama just called a fair catch for a punt return - not good. I hope Shula doesn't turn into another Perkins.
