Wow - finally down to one. . . getting even more excited.  Had to be AC!!! Sorry Tyrone Butterfield.    

BTW - Thanks for posting the series.  Loved the highlights throughout. 

Maybe tomorrow Zak Novak or Leon Jones?

We hear it again: the rumble of a diesel motor, and the buzz of fans lined up along a driveway. 75 players in suits and headphones step off of the bus to and into a locker room, accompanied by raucous cheers.

Acres of parking lots fill with crossovers and RVs. The smell of lighter fluid and charcoal and pork and beef is everywhere. 

Men on street corners yell out, "Who's got tickets? Two kids play catch with an old nerf football in the field, while behind them old friends laugh and catch up on 8 months of news. 

At the gates of the stadium, an usher behind a locked gate checks his watch. Through the iron bars the building crowd chatters and trades jokes. His radio crackles, and he responds. A tingling of the keys in a lock.

Football is coming.

Where I live is nine hours ahead, so technically it's still two days ahead for me (4:30 AM Sunday kickoff). But considering that I probably won't be able to sleep for the excitement, I'll still go ahead and call it one more day. WOOOOOOOO FOOTBALL IS BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!

Moment of silence for that year that Brady Hoke gave #1 to Devin Funchess basically hoping that he'd live up to it, then gameplanned to get him killed all year.
