High Tide

Last night Alabama made history by whopping Notre Dame 42-14 in Miami to win the BCS National Championship. Alabama has won 3 titles in the last 4 years. Nick Saban won his 4th National Championship. Eddie Lacey won Offensive MVP. He forced Notre Dame players to miss tackles and put up two touchdowns. AJ McCarron had a terrific game for the Crimson Tide. He threw for 4 TDs and 264 yards. Don't even get Brent Musberger started on his girlfriend. Alabama's Offensive-line was absolutely amazing. They did not let McCarron get touched. I am pretty sure the only player that touched him was Center Barrett Jones, after the two got into a little argument. Don't worry, the two made up afterwards. Notre Dame, on the other hand, did not do anything very well. They had a lot of missed tackles and definitely did not live up to the hype. There was just no spark to this ND team. It felt like they were still relaxing on the beach. It did not look like Brian Kelly prepared his team enough. The coaching edge easily went to Alabama. Most people were expecting a better game, but unfortunately for ND that did not happen. It was a tough game, but ND has a great recruiting class coming in and has a lot to look forward to. 'Bama also has another dominant recruiting class. I expect that these two teams will have great seasons next year. Both teams have lots of young talent. It was definitely a great season of college football, but let's move it onto basketball and hockey now!
