It’s Monday, and at long last we have an actual football game coming up on Saturday.
College football’s offseason has, over the years, become more and more intolerable, and it’s not because nothing happens — it’s because too much happens. It’s weird to say this as somebody who runs a Vanderbilt sports blog, but I hate what has happened to the offseason. I’m not somebody who really enjoys following the ins and outs of recruiting, of worrying about how the decisions of today’s 17-year-olds will affect my team’s fortunes in a few years. It’s always felt more like something I need to know than something I want to know.
