And so it begins....

A couple of days ago I told my daughter to take a good long look at her father, because it was the last time she would be seeing him for awhile. Why would I say such a cruel thing? Because it is officially that time of year again:

COLLEGE FOOTBALL, WEEK 1

I know I sound harsh, and I shouldn't. I have actually come to really enjoy the fervor that is football season, and I take pride in the fact that, thanks to J, I actually can pass for semi-knowledgeable about current football. There's something about this time of year that is exciting, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that with football comes my favorite season. Anyways, highlights:

- The wonderful trouncing of Michigan by Appalachian State
- A poor umpire gets knocked back to the Stone Age during the Wake Forest-Boston College game
- Stupid Boston College won. (I hate them more than Tiger fans hate Gamecocks).
- Virginia Tech shows that they will, in fact, overcome

And then I went to bed. Unlike J, I could not watch 14 straight hours of football.
