The Luck Of The Irish Ends With Sweet Home Alabama

Roll Tide, America. Alabama hasn't beat anyone this badly since the Civil Rights Movement. They embarrassed Notre Dame 42-12 for their third BSC Championship in four years, proving that the Irish's undefeated season wasn't enough to kick the SEC out of the NCAA Championship position for the 7th time in a row.

But, that is assuming Notre Dame played well enough to consider it a game. Not only did Bama have a 35 point unanswered shutout by the middle of the third quarter, Notre Dame failed to generate any kind of offense or defense. If anyone thought the BCS fans were insufferable before, wait until Notre Dame's fan base starts to make excuses for the inability for the defense to tackle anyone or anything for the first 3 quarters.

Let's be honest here, Notre Dame didn't even get off the bus. They got out classed, like a bunch of pee wee players who didn't know how to play football. It's just a shame that the time they showed this was the BCS Champion stage. Because, ignoring what PTI and ESPN say, Notre Dame football is back. Regardless of the complexity of their season, the difficulty, they were still undefeated. Through Michigan, and BYU, and Stanford and the horror of Pittsburgh, Notre Dame football was undefeated. And that itself will start a new era. It can't get any worse than it was in the late 90s and the early start of the 21st century.

So while Alabama can bask in it's College Championship glory for the time being, Notre Dame football is back, so from now on, Beware The Fighting Irish!
