Wanna party like a BCS champ?
On Monday evening, the 2013 Bowl Championship Series comes to Miami when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Alabama Crimson Tide hit the gridiron at Sun Life Stadium to do battle for college football's 2013 national title.
In the meantime, though, we all gotta get drunk, buy a lapdance, and shit-kick it to some country music. So just check the cut for Crossfade's BCS National Championship party guide.

While this football bash is being billed as the "Official Alabama Kickoff Party," it's still unclear whether coach Nick Saban and the 'Bama athletic department have actually endorsed this special editon of Prestige Sundays. Still, 305 rapper and football fanatic Brisco's gonna be there. Ditto Alabama alumni Trent Richardson, Le'ron McClain, and Mark Barron. Oh, and Big Al the Elephant rubbin' up on some (human) ladies in the VIP.

But don't cry 'cause your Notre Dame or 'Bama superfan facepaint will run. Just choke down the tears and sing along with Luke Bryan: "I don't want this night to end! Gonna cuss the morning when it comes!"
And hell ... Who knows? Your team might not even lose.
