Eddie Lacy celebrates another Alabama championship.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.  In 2010, Alabama won a national championship.  In 2012, Alabama won a second national championship.  In 2013, Alabama caps  yet another season by winning a national championship.  Despite being ranked behind the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Crimson Tide and coach Nick Saban have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that no football conference (or lack thereof in Notre Dame’s case) prepares you for physical, punishing football like the Southeastern Conference.  Alabama destroyed Notre Dame 42-14 at Sun Life Staduim to win the NCAA National Championship.

“I am satistifed with this team.  They were never entitled.  I’m proud of what they accomplished.  Now we’ve got to go to work on next year,” said Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban.

With the amount of returning talent on that team is combined with the incredible recruiting classes raked in year in and year out by Nick Saban and company, I have absolutely no doubt that Alabama is the early favorite to win the national championship in 2013 and for pretty much as long as Nick Saban continues to prowl the sidelines in Tuscaloosa.  Back-to-back-to-back titles?  Besting Bear Bryant’s six national championships?  It’s all within reach.

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.
