INCOMING FOOTBALL THIS IS NOT A DRILL

This is not a drill.

College football is on tonight. 11 hours from this post's publication, there will be 22 FCS football games on ESPN+.

Repeat: THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Bust out those streaming account logins. Grab a beer or some snacks. Limber up your typing fingers for some shitposting. It starts tonight. And continues tomorrow. And FBS Week Zero proper kicks off at 12:00 ET on Saturday.

Until then, may I interest you in a few links from around the CFB world? After that, perhaps the magnificent, glorious arrival of MNW's DWT;WT? Or maybe you're a discerning Indiana-dweller. Could we interest you in some (admittedly belated) Bucket Week coverage later today?

Let's do this thing.
