The college football season will put an end to the slow sprawl of the summer sports season Thursday night when sixteen games involving Division 1 FBS teams kick off starting at 7:00pm. Virginia fans will behold the start of the Bronco Mendenhall era on Saturday at 3:30, when the Cavaliers take the field at Scott Stadium to face the Richmond Spiders. The beginning of football season marks the grand opening of the college sports season. Sure, there’s a soft opening when the soccer teams kick things off in late August, but the return of college football Saturdays is the true grand opening with fireworks and motorcycles jumping over fountains.
College Football 2016 Kickoff: The wild and crazy tradition starts this week. Enjoy it, Virginia fans.
