on College Football from Da GOAT's perspective

Well finally the first week of college football is here! What a great time of the year it is really.

College football for Da Goat is more then just football itself. It is better then Christmas and Thanksgiving and all that's in between. It's late nights after games sitting in garages and listening to great guitar players that the outside world will never hear. It's arguing with my family about how bad ALABAMA football really is. It's having friends over for the "Red River Shoot-Out", and eating TEX-MEX for the first time. It's "Mo Wickey" and the "By-God Texas Longhorns". It's great food on the grill and Brunswick Stew on the stove. It's cold beer in every one's cooler and "NC Spring Water" that seems to never stop flowing. It's the ONLY Auburn fan in the house, outnumbered, but defending his team to the death. It's tailgating in 100 degree heat at UCF because the LONGHORNS are in town. (if you've never been to UCF, the scenery is ridiculous). It's arguing with the wife because the "Florida St. game IS more important then a funeral," NO ONE should be buried on Saturday between September and January. It's teaching my little man the In's and outs of all that is "College Football" and laughing because he's too young to understand why daddy keeps breaking thing and yelling at the TV. It's the loved ones not understanding that if FSU loses, LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE.....REALLY! It's the OSU fans making a case for their team to get to the NC game only to get DESTROYED again by the SEC. It's being in the student section of the Wisconsin/Arkansas bowl game and "Jumping Around" at the end of the third quarter.

It's turning the TV all the way down and listening to the game on the radio.

It's Herbie and Corso and "Drunk Uncle Lou". It's ELI GOLD. It's Erin Andrews. It's Keith Jackson. It's Brent Musburger, Mike Tirico and Chris Fowler.

It's College Football season.....The best time of the year.
