The college football season starts tomorrow. It sure makes the disappearance of summer less painful to handle. South Carolina is kicking off the season against N.C.State. Seems like the Ole' ball coach gets to start the football season on the kickoff Thursday every year. I don't like the very early season games mostly because they tend to be one-sided. Case in point - Charleston state at Florida. The point spread is a robust 63. It might be a good investment to put 10 bugs on CSU. But still the fact that the season is starting is exciting in and of itself. The game of the weekend is number 5 Alabama V number 7 Virginia Tech. That should be a good one. Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, USC and Alabama round out the pre-season top 5. Lets see how it looks in January. I hate pre-season rankings. They should wait until week 2 before ranking anything.
Pro football is on its way into your living room too. Brett Favre had a good pre-season game 2. Much better than his first pre-season game. Now his ribs are hurt. Somehow this feels like it's going to end badly - much worse than how it ended with the Jets. I sure hope he plays through the season and keeps the Vikings exciting to watch. They are a good team. The Broncos and their rookie coach are now in trouble with Brandon Marshall. He wants out and I am not sure what they are going to do with him. That team is in deep trouble. Michael Crabtree is still holding out and the 49'ers are the only team that has not signed it's top pick in this year's draft. Makes no sense whatsoever for Crabtree to be doing what he is doing. I thought the rookie holdouts in the NFL rarely extend into the training camp these days. Crabtree is going "(semi) old school" on the niners.
