College Football Playoff Final Alabama vs. Clemson

By -
The college football playoff is among us, America's favorite sport. Today we're going to talk about the College Football National Championship, but first let me just rant a little bit. I'm still baffled why the NCAA or whoever is scheduling these games is so persistent for the national championship to be played on a damn Monday. Why? Why does this game have to be on a weekday that literally most everybody in America is going to want to watch and has to stay up till like midnight to watch the damn thing and then turn right around and go to work the next day. What is so wrong with a Saturday game? I just don't get it, it seemed to of worked just fine for the past 3 or 4 months playing on Saturdays.

Okay, enough of that. Now that that's off my chest lets talk some college football. Every Saturday I woke up super early as most college football fanatics just to watch College Game day and felt like a little kid on Christmas morning waiting on all the latest news and Corso's headgear pick and there's simply just no better feeling in the world knowing that your just going to be lazy all day, watch a ton of football, eat a bunch of food that's bad for you, and get drunk with your friends, sadly it's all coming to a end. This year has been a great season of football and we've had some great bowl games to put the cherry on top. Especially that USC vs. Penn State Rose Bowl, talk about classic shootout for the ages. 

In this years National Championship game we've got a rematch the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the Clemson Tigers. For those of you that don't remember last years game Alabama was able to derail Clemson's perfect season last year as the Tide caught some major breaks on special teams late in the ball game and was able to come out on top 45-40 in the big showdown out in the desert. But it's a new year guys and I know Clemson has a huge chip on their shoulder coming into this game after last years results. Deshaun Watson has got to have the game of his life to beat this Alabama team. Alabama has the most dominant defense I've ever seen at the collegiate level, when their defense alone is outscoring opposing teams offenses in just about every game that says a lot about just what kind of dominance that team can bring to the table.

I'm not going to sugar coat it for all the Bama fans out there, we will probably never see a run like this ever again. What Nick Saban and his staff have been able to accomplish at Alabama year in and year out is just amazing. He is the golden standard for college coaches around the country and the funny thing is when Nick finally rides off into the sunset, Alabama will probably go straight over to Clemson to hire Dabo Swinney. Dabo has also established himself and his program among the elite. Clemson no longer plays second fiddle to Florida State in the ACC. Clemson has been proving themselves every year of what kind of team and program they've built since they've hired Dabo. When you can beat Ohio State and Urban Meyer like you were playing against the scout team all-american bench warmers and just completely embarrass them on National Television for everyone to see then you know you're among the best of the best. 

All things considered, the dismissal of Lane Kiffin from the Alabama play calling duties has me a little puzzled, but I know the mastermind of Nick Saban has a back up a plan. I must praise the genius of Nick Saban for having a solution after Kiffin. Steve Sarkisian is going to take over on offense and will be controlling the play calling for the Tide. I expect Sark to keep the offense the same to not confuse the freshman QB Jalen Hurts, but what Brent Venables does with his defensive play calling for Clemson is totally unpredictable and hard to prepare for as we seen against Ohio State. The key match-up for me to watch for is going to be the Alabama defense vs. Clemson offense. Those will be the best units either team puts on the field and it will ultimately come down to how many big time plays Clemson can make on that phenomenal defense of Alabama. My prediction of this game is similar to last years outcome. If there's one team that can put points on the board against Bama it's Deshaun Watson and Clemson, but I'm fully confident Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide will roll on to win this rematch, win another title and make it 5 National Championships in 10 years. Either way it goes we are in for one hell of a show to finish off this college football season.

Battlefront 2 Pay to Play/ Death of Triple A Games

By -

    Early Access started on Battlefront 2 and the outrage began immediately.  Everyone is saying that main characters of the franchise are locked behind either a pay wall or random luck of the draw with loot crates, that seem to take forever to obtain.  It is sad to see such a promising game get stuck with a pay to win setup.   Pay to win will be the death of the Triple A title and the larger developers if they don't see this.   It is insane to expect people who have already paid $60 for the game you made, to pay another amount of money to unlock content in the game. This model makes people feel like unappreciated and makes the consumer angry which is not a profitable business model.  I am perfectly fine with games that put cosmetics into loot boxes that I have the option to pay for.  This model does not effect the main game play and does not give anyone person a advantage just because they spend more money. Games such as Overwatch, Call of ...

Redskins Refuse to Wear the Color Rush Jersey Tonight

  The fact hat they are the only team that has fussed about this to this point is astounding. But what doesn’t make sense is, they have one of my favorite color rushes.  Theirs is actually enough of a change to make it cool. Unlike some jerseys.  I think they look good but whatever if the team doesn’t want to wear the jersey don’t think you should make them.

The SEC Struggles this Bowl Season

By -
   If you come to the south there is no doubt in anyone's mind down here.  The SEC is the best and for some people the only conference in the NCAA.  They may not even watch other teams unless they are playing a SEC team.     This bowl season is not showing that to be true though.  The SEC is at the moment of writing this 0-3 and with Mississippi State playing at this moment we are looking at 0-4.  I know that we have two teams playing in the playoffs and another team playing Monday as well.     I live in the south and love SEC football but I do not think that we are the best conference.  There have been years that we were the best conference in the NCAA but they are not in previous years.  We have a few good teams a year but the overall conference is below average.
