A lowly commenter opines to the powers that be here: “If we’re going to cover sports, we should be covering college football”.
Well ask and ye shall receive.
There are only 79 days until September 2. Why is that important?
September 2 is when the 2010 college football season kicks off! The classic, long-standing and bitter rivalries steeped in tradition of Presbyterian/Wake Forest (The Battle for the Protestant Soul), Southern Miss/”University” of South Cackalacky, Miami/FAMU, Norfolk State/Rutgers (“The Drama Department Nicknamed Us”), Minnesota/Middle Tennessee, and USC/Hawaii will be reignited for another year, as the next generation of titans battle for gridiron supremacy and indelible pride that will ring true for generations to come.
And don’t forget, GSU begins its march to FCS glory with the inevitable slaughter of Shorter University that day too. How I fear for the welfare of the boys from Rome when they come face to face with the juggernaut that is the GSU Panthers. Much greater men than those who don the Hawks jersey have fled in terror after the mere mention of GSU’s name.
The Big 11 10 becomes the big 12, while the Big 12 becomes a big 10 conference. Probably the best thing possible, as the Pac-18 would have been too big to foster true rivalries. Also, Kansas would have been screwed and that’s too good a basketball program (with a football team on the up and up) to play in C-USA. Now the former Big 12 lost its two worst basketball schools that had football teams dragging them down. Thankfully though, college athletics, particularly football, remains an amateur endeavor, and money never would have come into these considerations.
What are your predictions for the year?
