I always dreamed they would create a finals for the NCAA top football teams and when they did “Mr. Sandman” got his way. The first half was loads of fun ending with a 14-14 tie how was I to know it would continue to crush it in the second half. I can blame work responsibilities the next day, or the need to sleep but those are lame excuses to miss this awesome game in which Alabama beat Clemson 45-40. If it’s any conciliation I feel guilty and will pay by purchasing an Alabama Jersey. This way next year I’ll learn my lesson and stay up or have a new wardrobe.
