Ladies and gentlemen, the most wonderful time of the year is upon us. Forget Christmas, forget your birthday, forget Mardi Gras – it’s college football season.
This Saturday at 1:30 p.m., Oregon State and Colorado State will send their captains to the 50-yard line at a brand new stadium in Fort Collins, Colorado. A coin flip and commercial break later, 2017 will begin with kickoff in the Centennial State.
If that doesn’t tickle your innards with merriment, then you must hate puppies, oxygen and freedom.
It has been exactly 227 days since the amateur athletes for whom we put our lives aside took to the gridiron and graced our airwaves.
