The speculation is over. The complaining is over. After tonight, the season is over. For the next three hours, Alabama and LSU are here to put on a show — yes, a taut, relentless defensive show if necessary. If they do that, nothing anyone has written, tweeted, podcasted or put on a clever sign over the last month will matter. Deal with it, and enjoy the game.
• What: BCS Championship live blog, running throughout tonight's title game between Alabama and LSU. All colors and comments welcome, though preference is always given to snark.
• When: Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN; blog will kick roughly simultaneously.
• Who: You and all your rowdy friends.
• How: Hit "Watch Now," enter comments into the available box and do your part to accelerate the slow, agonizing death of conventional journalism.
• Why: Like it or not, it's the national championship, and the last real college football game of the season. Make it count.
