Welcome back to school, college football. Is that too corny? No matter; nobody from Nebraska is watching these games today anyway out of misery and sadness, so corn will have nothing to do with it.
It’s not even really the start of the “return” of college football, what with the advent of “Week 0” and Thursday-plus-Friday games sprinkling the landscape. I’ve heard a few souls trying to dismiss the Week 0 slate out of frustration, but that’s hard to do when you’ve got Notre Dame and USC playing that previous weekend—or at least I’d like to think USC did, but I am not one of these few lucky souls what happens to possess access to the Pac-12 Network.
