[fandom] college football

[escritoireazul]

It is that time of year, guys. Less than a month until college football starts. Aug. 30 my team kicks off against Utah, and players would pretty much have to die on the field for us to have a worse opener than last year, so I have hope. Slight hope. Even though I might not be at the game, because I may be traveling into enemy territory to visit a friend, or I may be back with my family, depending on scheduling. (And actually asking people if they have plans for the holiday weekend.)

Still, college football is coming, and I am thrilled. Of course I have season tickets, and I have to admit, I considered trying to get tickets to the game against The Enemy even though it is at The Enemy this year. I may wait until it's at home again next year, my last season as a student.

I'm really looking forward to the Wisconsin game, which is at home this year.

It's almost football time, and marching bands, and autumn weather, and the Big House, and cheering in the stands with my fellow students. It's the best season of the year up there.

GEAUX TIGERS. And that's all I have to say about that.

Football's never been my thing, but God, I still miss fall Saturdays in that town so much. The energy in the air is just...something.

Even if people died on the field, I'm not sure anything could be worse than last year for you guys. (MGoBlog still calls that game The Horror.)

Although (just to warn you) a lot of people think Utah is one of the mid-major teams who are going to go yard this year. They're on a lot of shortlists as potential BCS busters, and that would mean they'd have to go undefeated. Um.

Other than that, though: Go Blue!

I've been humming "Hail to the Victors" for months. I do believe people are plotting my demise.
