The joyous season

(Play for mood)



That's right, college football practice begins.

It's like Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, only with 350-pound sweaty guys slapping each other on the butt.

A combination of incredibly hot weather and life being in a state of flux really has me looking forward to the return of football. It also helps that the Raiders of Red are up in the rankings. I've even succumbed to the ultimate of sports geekery -- watching football simulations on XBox using the no-player option. And the game is from 2002. (Fight Kingsbury! Fight!)

So deck the halls with your lame, 20-year-old football decor and pretend that things won't be going horribly wrong by the middle of October.
