MEMPHIS – The game was over, except it wasn’t.
Last Saturday afternoon, heading into the fourth quarter in Tuscaloosa, the Alabama was crushing Texas A&M, 45-16. Sitting on a 29-point lead, barring Aaron Rodgers showing up in a Texas A&M uniform, there was no way this game was going to be interesting down the stretch.
Sitting in a lake house in Arkansas with a few other football fans, I asked if someone could grab the remote. But no. Another gentleman in attendance was nervous. Alabama, you see, was favored to win the game by 24 points.
