1. It’s been nearly eight months since we saw a college football game, but the wait is over. When Presbyterian and Wake Forest hook it up at 6:30 p.m. ET, another season will be underway. It’s not just an ordinary night of Thursday football either, as there are 18 games involving FBS teams — including No. 2 Ohio State, No. 13 Miami, No. 14 USC and No. 15 Pitt.
Let’s also remember one of the greatest things about college football season beginning is that it represents another entire season of tailgating. Between the great food, the camaraderie, the partying, the chants and everything in between, tailgating truly is a great American pastime and makes the spectating more fun. Pictures like the one here (at Mississippi State) can be taken all over the nation every Saturday. Great times.
Oh yeah, no link in here because it was all me. Since Five-Step is predicated on linking, I’ll give one with a short take: if you’re going to complain about the Big Ten division alignment, please be smart enough to do so without saying you don’t like it because Ohio State and Michigan playing each other in the last regular season game “all but” eliminates a rematch the following week. It does nothing of the sort. The teams are in different divisions and when they play has no bearing on the standings — I don’t care what two teams you’re talking about.
