CoverStory By George Dickie There's nothing like the excitement of a crowd. Cooper Manning knows all about it. As a former athlete, he appreciates the energy an audience brings to an event. So in Season 2 of NBC's reboot of the venerable game show "College Bowl," the eldest of the three Manning broth - ers thinks the addition of a studio audience will bring an extra shot of excitement to the proceedings. Kicking off Friday, Sept. 9, with back-to-back ep- isodes, the sophomore round of the quiz show hosted by Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning again pits teams of students from colleges and universities around the country through five rounds of rapid-fire questions. But this time around, thanks to the lifting of COVID-19 protocols, there will be mascots, cheerleaders and a studio audience cheering them on. For Cooper Manning, who serves as sideline reporter, these new ele- ments are big. "I just think it made us more upbeat and excited about being there," he ex- plains, "because you can kind of feed off the enthu- siasm of the crowd ... and it elevated the happiness of the contestants. They weren't grinding so much and so focused because they knew when they got on a roll, it was encour- aging. You know, Peyton and I are at each other's throats anyway the whole time, so that comes natu- rally. I think the crowd likes when we make fun of each other." The crowd goes wild for Season 2 of 'College Bowl' The identity of the featured celebrity is found within the answers in the puzzle.
