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.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
