Big Al, Alabama's disturbing elephant mascot.

Nick Saban is quite a college football coach.  He won his first national championship as the head coach of LSU in 2003, and he followed that up with a second national championship in 2010.  His Alabama Crimson Tide had a strong season this year, but in an epic clash between the number one and number two teams in the country, LSU topped Alabama in a hard-fought defensive struggle.  However, that loss didn’t knock Alabama out of the national championship race, and as it turns out, it gave Alabama the education they needed.  In the rematch between SEC titans, Alabama routed LSU 21-0 in the Superdome in New Orleans to win the 2012 BCS National Championship.

In many ways, it was a historic national championship game.  It was the first time two teams from the same league competed for the top prize in college football.  Nick Saban, with his victory, became the first person to win three BCS National Championships.  In the process, he bested the man who replaced him at LSU, Les Miles.  This is the first shut-out in BCS title game history.  This is the third straight national championship for the state of Alabama (Alabama, Auburn, and Alabama again), and this sixth straight national championship for the SEC.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
