Stacy McCain will try to do to college football what he does to politics, covering Alabama in the college football national championship game Thursday.
Besides the excitement of the crowd noise, I'll take watching the game on TV. But he's got that Alabama pride angle to cover.
In my days covering UVa football, Alabama never ventured to Scott Stadium. Auburn came by in 1997, winning the Thursday night opener.
Virginia hammered Texas in 1996 (I missed seeing Kay Bailey Hutchinson in the press box.) Later that season, current Texas coach Mack Brown - then with North Carolina - lost to the Cavaliers. UNC had a chance at a Fiesta Bowl berth that year until that loss.
Fire up the computer while watching the game Thursday.
