'Tis the season....

College football is right around the corner!  My weekly predictions will be back again this year, but in the meantime, some things to look forward to this upcoming season...

Tis the season for...

Irish fans to prove THIS is their year and Brian Kelly is THE coach to return them to glory!!  Seriously. Finally... after 20+ years.  Not kidding.  This is the year.  No, really.

USC fans to show interest in football... until Kiffin blows a conference game to a huge under dog and the Lakers open training camp.  

Penn State fans to relish in the past glory of only talking about how old Joe is, how awful the offense is and how terrible a coach JayPa is. No more shots of Joe sitting in a booth pretending he knows what's happening, no more fullback dives that everyone in the stadium knows is coming, no more DB's lining up 10 yards off the ball on 3rd & 2...  sigh. 

Wolverine fans to talk about D-Rob as their mini-Tebow... he can run like Bolt and throw like... well.... Tebow.

Gator fans to talk about......  Tebow. 

Seminole fans to tell the rest of us that NO WAY ARE WE OVER RATED!!

Arkansas fans to wonder which is worse, Petrino's affair or hiring John L Smith.

Sparty fans to continue to show how they have no idea how to handle success and be even more crude & classless than last season. 

Pitt fans to pack their stadium....  on Sundays.

Temple fans to rejoice like a jilted lover being taken back... even if it is the Big East that wants them back. 

UNC fans to thank the NCAA for not getting involved in academic fraud cases.

Duke fans to look forward to basketball season. 

Longhorn fans to long for the days of Vince & Colt while their program continues to under achieve. 

A&M fans to FINALLY be out of their big brother's shadow! And then realizing they just moved into a group home full of big brothers. 

Arizona fans to be thankful for RichRod and wonder what all the fuss was about in Ann Arbor.

UCLA fans to talk trash about USC...  just kidding.

Sooner fans to bitch about Stoops for ONLY winning 10 games and playing in a BCS game. 

LSU fans to wonder what crazy shit Miles will call with the game on the line this year and pray their QB play can't possibly get worse.  Hint: Rob Bolden is not the answer at QB.

Hurricane fans to thank Penn State for taking the spot light off of their scandal. 

Rutgers fans to .... ummm.... I don't know what Rutgers fans do... cheer for Tampa Bay? 

Ducks fans to find out which player Nike will be promoting for a Heisman this year. 

'Bama fans to begin work on a Saban statue that will rival the Washington Monument.

Auburn fans to poison the water in Tuscaloosa.   

Mountaineer fans to burn couches in anticipation of getting drunk and burning couches.

Gamecock fans to hope Spurrier can capture the coaching magic he had back in the 90's.

Badger fans to start making plans for the Big Ten championship game.  Seriously, OSU & PSU are ineligible.  It's a foregone conclusion. 

Buckeye fans to act even more obnoxious than they did under Tressel.

Mizzou fans to be happy they've gone from an also ran in the Big XII to an also ran in the SEC. 

Clemson fans to forget about giving up 70 points in a  bowl game and celebrating how great they are until their annual late season collapse.

TCU fans to get new pot dealers.

Stanford fans to take a break from studying to realize Andrew Luck now plays in Indanapolis... back to studying. 

Okie State fans to thank T. Boone Pickens for making them the Oregon of the mid west.

Hokie fans reminding everyone that they played for national title once when Michael Vick was in Blacksburg. 

Sun Devil fans to check out all the hot co-eds. 

K-State fans to wonder why the hell Bill Snyder is the only coach that can win in Manhattan and hope he lives forever. 

Husker fans to hope Taylor Martinez figured out how to read a defense. 

Wazzu fans to anticipate what kind of crazy shit Mike Leach will say at his press conferences. 

BYU fans to celebrate their football independence by sending the team on a 2 year mission. 

Boise St. to say, "I can't believe we got a BCS bid for moving to an EASIER conference than the Mountain West!"

Iowa fans to hope for just one running back that isn't injured or kicked off the team. 

Maryland to up the ugly uniform ante by playing in actual turtle shells.

Baylor to look back fondly on the days their program was relevant in college football. 

Tennessee to hold their pre-season pep rally by burning Kiffin in effigy. 

Vanderbilt to show there actually is one SEC school that values academics over football.

Illinois coaches to open a branch office in State College to recruit 3rd & 4th stringers that will start in Champagne.  I recommend they check out the PSU Creamery while following the players around campus.

The UT-San Antionio Road Runners, Texas State Bobcats, UMass Minutemen and South Alabama Jaguars to be welcomed to FBS football!

Mark May to spout off about how Penn State is the great Satan of college football and espousing how awesome Pitt is despite their irrelevance for the past 30 years. 

The media to fall all over themselves proclaiming how great the SEC is and every other conference sucks, except USC. 

Honey Badger to put down the pipe and start caring.
