It's coming tonight...
Bama is going to manhandle Clemson. I can feel it. It's in the air. The level of supreme cockiness hasn't been this high since the late 70s. It was unfortunately warranted then and it's warranted now. Dumbo Swinney is a rampaging moron with all the class of a stripper at a gentleman's club in DeSoto Mississippi. He's going to get trampled by the machine that is Alabama.
Oddly enough, the Tide is high for the same reasons it always is when it crests. Then, as during the Bryant years, that poorly-educated rabble was led by a dictatorial fuckhead of a coach who was elevated to near-god status by the fanbase, and fawned over by a media so enamored with his 'legend' that he could have taken a frothy shit on their heads and they'd wax poetically about the consistency and aroma.
They've reached this championship status by having an in at the NCAA that they used to batter the opposition while simultaneously keeping some of the most blatant and egregious offenses in the history of the game from being questioned. Had any other program had the Tom Al-Betar situation, it would be nuked back to the leather helmet days. Add in the textbooks, the wheelz, the Davis/Phillips cash transactions and coaches selling drugs on campus and handing out cash to players... any other program is eviscerated. But not them.
So tonight they'll coronate again. A fanbase where 85% of them never attended the school and where 95% of that number derives every ounce of self worth from the success of a football program that wouldn't piss on their broke, uneducated, redneck asses if they were on fire will get to feel good about itself for 365 more days. That bunch will go to bed tonight feeling for all the world as if they're "winners" in life. Tomorrow, they'll go back to working for people like me and you. Or drawing they checks. Whatever. But they'll feel good inside because "you're team is a bunch of loosers."
I'm not going to watch it. There's nothing there of interest for me at all.
