OFD readers everywhere have had 7:00 Saturday night blocked off for months, but the start of the season elsewhere holds just as much excitement as the ND season kicking off. College Football diehards were treated to a great appitizer when defending FCS champs North Dakota State was upset last Saturday by Montana on a go-ahead TD scored with two seconds left. Tomorrow night, the FBS season gets underway with an interesting slate of Thursday night games.
