Cool read on the cover.

Alabama running back Eddie Lacy, the offensive MVP of Mondayās BCS title game, tramples over two Notre Dame defenders on the cover of the Jan. 14, 2013, issue of Sports Illustrated, on newsstands Wednesday. This is the 23rd time that Crimson Tide football has appeared on the cover, which includes
12 covers in the past four seasons. You can purchase this weekās cover here.
Alabamaās 42-14 dominating victory over Notre Dame earned the Crimson Tide their third BCS Title in four years, firmly securing Alabamaās place in history. Fans and players alike, including Alabama senior center Barrett Jones couldnāt help but speak of a dynasty. Jones spoke to senior writer Tim Layden (@SITimLayden) on the field after the game. He said: āThereās a SPORTS ILLUSTRATED cover hanging in my room because Iām on itāfrom 2010. It says, DYNASTY. CAN ANYONE STOP ALABAMA? Iāll never forget looking at that thing and wondering if we really could be a dynasty. Three out of four. Iām no dynasty expert, but that seems like a dynasty to me.ā
Even more impressive is the run by Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who has now coached teams to national championships in four of the past 10 seasons. Only Paul āBearā Bryantās six titles at Alabama compare, yet Saban told Layden: āThere is no continuum of success. History canāt help us win.ā
