We did it America. College football has finally returned.
It’s a bright morning in this country, the flag is flying high, the sun is shining and young men are back on the field. What a great day to be alive.
There are countless great storylines to follow this season, but some of the greatest will be if Alabama can redeem themselves, can a Big Ten team win the national title, is USC up to they hype, will Oklahoma survive Bob Stoops leaving and can Arkansas finally shake the Hookstead curse?
These are the questions football fans everywhere are pondering.

There were times when I wasn’t sure if we’d make it this far. Things looked bleak, and football seemed like a distant dream we’d never return to. Luckily, the fact we’re all here today means we have made it to another football season.
