College Football Season is Here!!!

I had to write to let out my excitement for the start of the college football season! It starts in two days...it seems like work is dragging a little bit as I anticipate Saturday's game. I'm a huge BYU fan and this year they have some big expectations. That is one of the nice things about this time of year you can just dream of greatness and the harsh realities of losses and injuries have not come into play yet. Many people are predicting BYU to go undefeated and to make it to the BCS. Although I believe this will be another great year, I am trying to keep my expectations in check. It is nearly impossible to go undeafeted, even for a very good team like BYU. Playing on the road, playing against rivals, losing key players to injuries, losing focus, turnovers, and just having a bad game are all very likely roadblocks to perfection. I'm even a little nervous about our first game against a division II opponent! We play Northern Iowa, which has basically been one of the best teams in division II. Last year they beat a division I team and this year they are looking to emulate Appalachian State. I sure hope that the players are not overlooking them. The University of Utah will also have a big game this week against Michigan. As a fellow league member, I often logicially feel that it would be good for the conference if they were to win. Then my heart always rejoices when I see them losing! That is what a rivalry is all about. I'll have to check back after the games on Saturday.
