Morning, all. It's, technically speaking, a Monday, which is a bummer. Separate from that, I ended up in the local urgent care yesterday after taking a solid chunk out of my finger whilst washing my favorite (and alas, uber sharp) kitchen knife. Also a bummer! (The breakfast tacos were quite good, though.)

HOWEVA, not a bummer: Between now and next Monday, there will have been something like 75+ college football played, scored, won, lost, done, and dusted. Yes, the majority of those will be FCS games. But on Thursday and Friday, as a little treat while we wait for Bill Belichick's soon-to-be-annual opening game asswhooping? I think we can find some time to appreciate those 30 FCS games all kicking off in a 24 hours span.

But until we get there, we've got some leftover Ohio State/Michigan content to get to. And then we'll celebrate the storied rivalry that is the Old Oaken Bucket. Indeed, two families currently very much unalike in dignity.

Thanks for finding this place, popping by, shooting the shit, and sharing the links with your least obnoxious college football friends. The holy season beckons. We're nearly there.
