17.5 consecutive hours of College Football yesterday - a record?

For my fellow CFB fans out there, the ones with unmatched couch-stamina at least, Saturday, September 7 (and into this morning) might just be a record.
Things started an hour earlier than usual, with a 10am CDT (11am local in Pittsburgh) kickoff of Ohio at Pitt on the ACC Network.
Many hours later, due to a 2h39m weather and lightning delay in Seattle, the Cal at Washington game registered 0:00 on the clock at 3:23am CDT (1:22am local - Pac-12 Network).
All tallied, that is 17 hours and 23 minutes of consecutive D-I College Football televised. Not sure if a record, but seems like it might be.

ETA:
I just realized that, based on a couple replies on here (including a massively douchebag laden one by Paul in Louisville), that my typing above may seem like I was commemorating MY having broken a personal record. Sadly, I did NOT watch all 17.5 hours.
My reason for the post was to note that it existed, that it is unique, and that a possible record for consecutive, televised, D-I CFB occurred.
Had I realized the record was possible, I might have gone for it, but my "misses" included:
- 20 minutes chatting with my neighbor on her patio
- 30-40 minutes in the kitchen prepping a whole chicken for roasting
- dozing off around 2am near the end of OT for Minnesota at Fresno State
If I have received unearned upvotes, I regret my poor verbiage above that caused it. This travesty shall haunt all of my days and into my afterlife.

Why? I had empty beer bottles in abundance.
Don't sip those if you wake from a cat-nap. Pro tip!

Baw learned how to wear a diaper from Lisa Nowak herself. I sadly tapped out after about 16 hours.

If my math is right this means I drank 35 beers

Diaper training was another group at JSC. But I do hand it to Lisa for choosing that equipment for her half-country trek. Was a genuinely smart choice. She probably wasted a total of 20 minutes getting fuel on that drive, and 0 minutes wasted peeing.

I’ve watched more football in the Quad.

Nope. 9/17/2011-9/18/2011. Started with college gameday and did not end until the weather delayed Okie State vs Tulsa game was over.

Notre Dame played at 9am EST one year.

You consider the three hours of ESPN's 'College Gameday' as live D-I college football?

That is what when I started drinking that day. So yes.

What is your 8am drink of choice? I'm going with Coffee + Bailey's usually. On a rare occasion, a Bloody Mary. If the wife is up and making drinks, extraordinarily rare... Mimosas

Bourbon with a little bit of coffee

Well I was in college at that time so it was probably Natty light but I do not recall the exact details.

Always a good choice. That is usually my go to but every now and then I wake up drink a regular cup of coffee, then go take a giant dump, and crack open a cold one and watch the sun rise.

What was great was the fact that there was a straight up nailbiter game in every timeslot:
11:00am: Michigan vs Army in 2OT
2:30: Colorado vs Nebraska in OT
6:30: LSU vs Texas (just an absolute classic)
9:30: Cal upsets Washington 20-19
If it hadn’t been for thaf crazy weather delay, I’d have watched that instead of USC vs Stanford

Notre Dame in Ireland and a Hawaii night home game if paired together would’ve likely been longer...but I’m too lazy to look it up.

that's so randomly awesome. I knew you'd recognize the name, but you way overshot my expectations
