Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled that the University of Alabama, a.k.a. The Crimson Tide, a.k.a. The House that Bear Bryant built has won another national championship. Well, maybe not thrilled since it’s hard to get too invested one way or the other, but if anyone is going to win I’m glad it’s a team from Alabama.
So this will mark my one-article-a-year about sports, since it is pretty big news in the state of Alabama. [I believe the entire state closed down last night to watch the game, if you had a life-or-death emergency, odds are good that you died watching it.]
Alabama beat Notre Dame 42 to 14 and I suspect they only allowed them to get to 14 because they felt sorry for them. After all, they were stomping them 28 to zip at half-time.
How could this happen? Notre Dame was ranked number 1 and Alabama was ranked number 2?…Well, whoever did those rankings didn’t take into account that Notre Dame is one of the most overrated football programs in the country. A team that is routinely ranked too high in the BCS rankings because they usually make their own schedule against pitiful teams that are usually (to use boxing terms) tomato cans and bums. They’re always just this close to a national championship, and they always fuck up big time before they even get close. This year, they got very close, and they still fucked up big time.
So, kudos to Alabama on their third national championship win in 4 years, something that’s only been accomplished three times since 1936 (the other team to do this is Nebraska in the early 90’s). [It’s worth noting that the only year Alabama didn’t win in those 4, Auburn did.] This should now make Alabama fans officially obnoxious and intolerable for at least another decade, and continue to drive the state of Alabama into a “football frenzy” where they refuse to give a shit about anything else.
