Tide Rolled Early And Often
“The only suspense for the national TV audience was how many times Brent Musburger would reference Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron’s girlfriend,” David Haugh, who predicted a Notre Dame victory, writes for the Tribune
“As Crimson Tide players and coaches celebrated the rout Notre Dame skeptics predicted, the elephant in the room wasn’t that goofy Alabama mascot. The elephant in the room was the idea that perhaps Notre Dame’s unbeaten season indeed was the product of fluky plays, that the outcome confirmed Notre Dame was lucky and Alabama simply too good.”
As chronicled aptly, as usual, on Twitter. Let’s take a look.
Who knows how a team will perform after 44 days off? But NO WAY Irish should be 10-pt dog. ND’s D too good, Bama’s too vulnerable.

Everybody laughed when ND’s basketball team bet that they would give up less pts tonight than the football team.

Halftime is just twenty minutes of Brent Musburger looking at Playboys and telling everyone who he likes.
