Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer, You Win It All, Alabama

Well done, the University of Alabama. You won it all.

On a lovely-looking night in California, Alabama rode the Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson trains all the way to a 37-21 victory in the national championship, making them unequivocal, unbeaten national champions.

It's funny, because about three hours before the Crimson Tide's victory, it had started disastrously, with two special teams turnovers inside the first few minutes. But on the second turnover, disaster struck for the Longhorns when 'Captain Fantastic' Colt McCoy injured a shoulder on a seemingly harmless tackle that took him out of the game and put in freshman Garrett Gilbert.

Texas took a 6-0 lead, but the Longhorns' cheers were muted.

After that, it was all Alabama. Richardson and Ingram scored touchdowns to give the Tide a 14-6 lead, and added a field goal to make it 17-6. Then, instead of simply taking a knee and going into the locker room at 17-6, the Longhorns decided to go for a shovel pass, which was picked off and returned for a touchdown to make it 24-6. The eyes of (rage) are upon you, Mack Brown.

Then came the comeback. With nothing to lose, the Longhorns—and their brilliant defense—came to play while the offense scored two touchdowns to narrow the deficit to 24-21. Suddenly it was the Crimson Tide fans—who had seen Alabama do absolutely nothing offensively during the second half—who were looking on with rage.

But with Texas driving deep within its own red zone, another monster blitz from the 'Bama defense rocked Gilbert, who spilled the ball. Ingram was then given the ball—hurt calves and all—and the rest was history.

Oh, and this song below is a story about three Alabama icons. Expect Mark Ingram to be a fourth.
