Opening Night!

It's one of my favorite nights of the year — opening Thursday night for college football season. I stayed up until 2 am this morning finishing up my regular season picks, will get to bowl match-ups and I-AA playoffs today and then dig in for the ESPN double header tonight.

Ol' ESPN opens this year's feast with South Carolina visiting N.C. State at 7 p.m. followed by a clash between highly touted teams as Oregon travels to Boise State at 10:30 p.m.

You've also got Indiana hosting Eastern Kentucky on Big Ten Network, and once I have all that digested, I'll post my final picks for National Champs, surprises, busts, etc.

But first it's off to work at the golf course this morning, so I got to run. Happy football season!
