Next on the Docket

Because my love for college football is, to a certain extent, an extension of my passion for high school football, much of the list of things I love about high school football can be applied to the college game as well. However, there are a few things that are unique to the college game. With the opening of the college season coming this weekend, it's time to list these as well:

Getting up "early" on Saturday for College Gameday on ESPN.

Watching football on TV all day (when BG doesn't have a home game, of course).

Upsets.

Smurf turf (the blue Astroturf at Boise State).

Brandi's temporary tattoos of the Falcon logo on her face.

My Cole Magner #21 jersey.

The excitement on campus before a big game.

Tailgating.

Cold afternoon games in November.

The occasional pre-game jet flyover.

Freddie and Frieda Falcon.

The spread offense.

The cannon being fired after a score.

Storming the field after a big win.

Watching West Coast games at the bar on Saturday night.

Bowl games.
