4 Things to Look for at Tonight's National Championship Game
https://sportspicks247.com/2016-17-college-football-ncaaf-national-championship-odds/

Tonight's college football National Championship in Tampa features a rematch of last year's championship with the Crimson Tide of Alabama against the Clemson Tigers. While the game will feature the same teams as last year, there are certainly many interesting things to look out for while watching the game. Here are four of these things:

1. Nick Saban's Robotic Core

While coach Nick Saban of the Crimson Tide on the outside may seem like your run-of-the-mill grumpy football coach, he is, in fact, a robot. For those of you watching at home, you may be able to catch a glimpse of this on TV as Saban's robotic body begins to malfunction after Alabama players give him a Gatorade bath in the case of an Alabama victory.

2. Kirk Herbstreit's Longing to Star in "The Great Gatsby"

While many have seen the 2013 film "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio based on the 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, only a few know about commentator Kirk Herbstreit's burning desire to play Jay Gatsby in the movie. Although his audition for the film was mediocre, colleagues of Herbstreit have said that he is still sour about Leo taking his role. Tonight, be on the lookout for Herbstreit's uncanny familiarity with 1920s culture and his tendency to call his fellow commentators "old sport."

3. That One Commercial That Was Funny at the Beginning of the Game, But is Now Really Annoying After Watching it for the 50th Time

It's probably a Progressive commercial or one of those weird car commercials with Matthew McConaughey.

4. Depletion of Earth's Gold

With the National Championship Trophy weighing 35 pounds made out of 24-karat gold, NCAA officials have gone to the ends of the Earth to exploit developing nations of their gold. Experts are predicting that the Earth will be drained of its gold by the end of halftime.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
