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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
