On Monday in Pasadena, Calif., the Michigan Wolverines will trade haymakers with Alabama but get TKO’d in the bitter end. Seven nights later in Houston, the Crimson Tide will get their revenge against Texas, the only team to roll them this season. Beat Nick Saban twice? Please.
Watching the national championship game with his feet up will be Bears coach Matt Eberflus, who survived the NFL’s Black Monday a day after — holy Havarti! — winning the season finale against the Packers at Lambeau Field. Bring back everybody? It just might happen.
