'Regardless of Saturday’s outcome, have some perspective,' Ben Flanagan writes in an opinion column. 'Alabama will play for a record 46th bowl victory in one of the greatest cities on Earth... The Sugar Bowl rules. Enjoy it while you can. Bonne année!'
The Sugar Bowl sucks. Well, it’s actually a college football institution boasting elite programs competing at a high level, and fans lucky enough to see their teams invited to New Orleans for one more big game should flock to any chance they get.
But then...the Utes whipped the Tide. Kyle Whittingham’s spread unit gave Bama defense fits for 60 minutes, as John Parker Wilson and the offense sputtered on their way to a shocking 31-17 loss. It sucked, for the fans who made the trip to New Orleans and for those staring into the abyss of their television screens unsure how...Utah...could compete. How would they cope with this embarrassment? Uh, well, umm...letdown! Yeah, non-championship bowl letdown.
Well, history repeated itself, and the Sooners sent Tide fans back to Café du Monde to cry into their beignets. Why? Why did this happen again, to the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide? They show out at bowl games. They’re the sleeping giants who unleash hell when a season dares to steal the national title from its rightful owner.
Alabama defensive back Marlon Humphrey looks into the distance dejected as the game gets away from Alabama in the late 4th quarter during Alabama's 2015 Sugar Bowl and college football playoff semifinal game with Ohio State, Thursday, Jan. 1, 2015, at the Superdome in New Orleans. Three long years and just one national title win later, Alabama wound up back in New Orleans.
