NOT THE BAKKEN: Best Sports Article Today -- In The WSJ

Link here to Alabama-Notre Dame: Oh my! in the WSJ.
Notre Dame was already in this game. Alabama got in Saturday by beating Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game in Atlanta. Georgia almost won, but in the closing minutes of the contest, the Bulldogs fell under the impression they were playing a leisurely game of Ultimate Frisbee, and time ran out before they had a chance to score and ruin everything. I know everybody feels bad for Georgia, and Georgia played great, but those Bulldogs were messing around with the desired narrative. The Crimson Tide versus the Fighting Irish was the dreamy matchup (non-Georgia football-loving) people wanted to see. Sorry. That fact is both annoying and true.
Go to the link for some fun reading.  I particularly enjoyed his description of the Miami Dolphins.
