The Mississippi State versus Alabama basketball game was, for a time, just an available hoops game on my dish, a game with an interesting subtext: Bubble team Alabama needed a win to get a NCAA tourney bid.
Then things changed. A tornado swept into downtown Atlanta, and created not only havoc in the streets, but one of the more oddly telegenic moments seen on the tube in a long time. You like reality TV? This was big time drama.
The spectators didn't seem to panic, moving in an orderly fashion to shelter and away from the debris falling from the interior roof. Broadcaster Tim Brando was not quite so composed, babbling without purpose and trying to fill the delay that followed the initial gust.
Ultimately, only minor injuries for the most part, and no serious injury problems inside the Georgia Dome.
