That’s Thomas Champion<\/a>, by the way.<\/p>\n

But what a day of beautiful light:<\/p>\n

\"yard\"<\/center><\/p>\n

That was in the afternoon, sitting in the backyard enjoying the shadows passing through the grass. That was after lunch and a very<\/em> brief bike ride and some school work. It was before a trip to the big box store and the big warehouse store. <\/p>\n

On the way home we saw this light:<\/p>\n

\"drive\"<\/center><\/p>\n

It isn’t cold, it isn’t hot, it isn’t really anything at all, just bright and golden and perfect. What a lovely day. <\/p>\n

Then the football game<\/a> happened. In three BCS games the last four years Alabama has outgained their opponents 1,176 to 670 yards. The Tide have outscored Texas\/LSU\/Notre Dame a combined 100-35. Tonight was a demolition, an anti-climax. A coronation, really, after the SEC championship game. <\/p>\n

At halftime Notre Dame’s coach said the best plan was for Alabama to not come back out in the second half. He might have been understating it. <\/p>\n

After the game the sideline reporter Tom Rinaldi said to Nick Saban: “Enjoy it if you can.” <\/p>\n

All of that said so much. <\/p>\n

So my Notre Dame shirt that I got last year<\/a> during our trip to South Bend<\/a> was as helpful as I thought it would be. Death, taxes, Saban; Alabama is a dynastic juggernaut.<\/p>\n

Beautiful day, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
