I think it’s about 25 min. ---

I have a rough idea how long a Super Bowl halftime runs… I was just curious if there is an exact amount of time set aside (e.g. 20 mins., 30 mins.) like regular season games. ---

Are we going to have a wardrobe malfunction or some other ‘controversy?’ And no, I don’t want to see any gangnam style BS. ---

Well, at the start of the game I had wings, cheese sticks, some summer sausage and cheese, and a deep dish shipped from Chicago. Is it time for some chips and guac for the second half? Maybe I’d like this halftime show more if I knew anything by or about Beyonce. Bring back the geezer bands! Didn’t Shatner already do the multiple selves while singing? ---

Somebody tell me when it’s over…we’re switching over to the Puppy Bowl for halftime. I can catch any commercials I miss online tomorrow. ---

The game needs to get back on. Beyonce is beautiful and has a wonderful voice and seems genuinely happy to on but isn’t singing at all really. I’ve heard 2 min of singing and 10 min of background music and grunts ☹ ---

If Kaepernick hadn’t thrown the first interception the momentum would probably be the reversed at half time. At that point there seemed like the Ravens didn’t find a way to stop the 49ers offense. At first Kaepernick and the 49ers offense seemed nervous, but they shook it off and got things going like they plowed through the playoffs; but after the first interception the nerves took over and with it the Ravens. If the 49ers once more find themselves and get some momentum going I think this game is far from over. But they must produce several touch downs because their defense back field is not up to par and the Ravens will probably score two times more. ---

I disagree, she has one of the, if not the best voice in the industry imo and sadly except for the last song she was just eye candy ☹ (Sweet sweet eye candy of course) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/super-bowl-xlvii-thread/649249.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/super-bowl-xlvii-thread/649249.md?page=5)
