For the first time
since 1981, Clemson captured a national championship with an incredible
35-31 win over top-ranked Alabama in the College Football Playoff
finale Monday night.
"Alabama was the
best team in the country up until the last second of this game," Clemson
coach Dabo Swinney told ESPN.
There’s a saying that
a man's true character is revealed in defeat. It’s also revealed in victory.
I am happy for Coach
Swinney. As a diehard Bama fan it hurt
my heart watching my beloved Crimson Tide go down in defeat. Clemson richly deserves to be the 2017
National Champions. Dabo made a wish
upon a star and his dream came true. I
hope he’s going to Disneyland!
As I have shared with
my blogging friend and SEC sister Diogenes,
I wanted Ohio State to beat the Clemson Tigers in the CFB Playoff Semifinal
Fiesta Bowl. I wanted to settle the
score from 2015 with the Buckeyes. Turns
out the Buckeyes were a bunch of weak sisters in a shutout beatdown. It was cringe-inducing for all those sports “experts”
who lay laurels at the feet of Urban Meyer.
Hope you enjoy your cold, protracted, humiliating winter.
Lane Kiffin is gone
by “mutual agreement” and in his place is Steve Sarkisian. This, I will admit, gives me some angst. This guy has a documented problem with alcohol
and a reputation for being a party guy.
He was even filmed having a booger snack during the Peach Bowl. Sarkisian had better toe the line at
Bama. Saban is a maniac disciplinarian. The Bama faithful will not accept a loss in tonight’s game.
Alabama is not the
number one team in the nation for nothin’.
Saban has given this man a chance to redeem himself. If he’s wise he won’t squander the
opportunity. There will be hell to pay
otherwise.
To those “staff
writers” I say Clemson couldn’t find a magic bullet last year and they haven’t
found one for tonight either. Bama’s
secondary is brutal, bruising and ginormous.
This game is going to be one helluva slobberknocker. There will be blood and mouthpieces strewn all
over the gridiron.
Dabo Sweeney wants
revenge. Nick Saban wants history and to
win his sixth national championship to tie him with the legendary Alabama coach
Paul “Bear” Bryant. The Tigers can rub
on that stupid Howard’s Rock all they want but Bama is stronger, quicker and
more determined than some orange-clad upstarts from a cow college.
Just like movie
sequels are disappointing, so too, will be Clemson’s stab at history. The Boys from Tuscaloosa will suffocate the kittehs. The Crimson and Houndstooth Dynasty will not
be dethroned and Clemson will be sucked into the same unforgiving abyss as
every other team that clashed with the Tide this season.
ARKANSAS.
TENNESSEE.
TEXAS A&M.
LSU
MISS STATE.
AUBURN.
FLORIDA.
Teams that also wanted "revenge" against Bama this yr. #TakeANumber
