It's back!!

Between VT/ECU and JMU/UNC-Chapel Hill, I am happier than a kitten in a milk jug. Seriously, not much is better than college football season, when entire communities come together for sunny Saturday afternoons, ESPN coverage, and of course, stupid pranks being played on each other.

The VT game is in the 4th, and JMU doesn't get started until 6, but I can already sense it's going to be an amazing season for both of my favorite teams. Tech, frankly, needs this. They had a nice ceremony this morning commemorating the 4/16 tragedy and the victims, and then they went straight to business. Though ECU hasn't rolled over and invited them to take the game as well as its money (a $100,000 donation from ECU to Hokie Spirit resulted in both teams entering Lane at the same time to discourage booing), they've given me a great game to watch while I've been working my ass off. It was clear that the emotions were with the guys during the first half, but things have improved considerably. If Tech can hold it together for the next 9 minutes, Lane Stadium is going to be shaking to its foundation.

I'm not sensing great things out of Chapel Hill tonight. I love my Dukes, but the UNC program is solid, strong, and playing at home. Not too promising, but I hope I'm wrong!!

Only one more week until the VT-LSU game, and three weeks until I'm at Lane Stadium to scream 81 North/64 EAST!!!!


BTW, is anyone else laughing their heads off about the Michigan/App State game? Michigan has no idea what they're looking at!
