NOTRE DAME APOLOGIZES TO FANS FOR HUMILIATING PERFORMANCE

It has been 25 years since Notre Dame has won a National Championship in football, and after last night, the faithfuls will have to wait at least one more year.  After a 42-14 beat down from Alabama, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly sent his sincerest apologies to anyone who made the travel accommodations to South Beach.

Coach Brian Kelly stares at the scoreboard, only to realize
that the game is well out of reach before halftime.

"I have nothing to say but I'm sorry." Coach Kelly began his post game press conference from the heart.  "To all of our fans who made the trek down here, I wish there was something I or the school could do to correct this emotional embarrassment."
Some from South Bend and others from around the country were curious just how straightforward Kelly was when he made his statement, even wondering if he or the university would be reimbursing alumni for their wasted travels.  Kelly did not comment publicly but was later to have said, "...it's the least we could do, although I'm sure the NCAA would have something to say about it."  They would indeed, considering that they don't even let scholarship athletes have extra cream cheese for a bagel.
The Irish shouldn't be sulking for too long, with fourteen starters returning, its almost a definite that they'll have another shot to get shamed on national television next year.
Alabama however, only hopes that with next years championship, viewers will stay tuned in well after the second quarter.
