Football Season is almost here, I can smell it

Do you smell that in the air as darkness sets in? You know what that smell is? It's the smell of a rapidly approaching football season. Sure, UNM is basketball school--just compare Rocky Long's contract to Steve Alford's--but we love football too, just in a different way.

Basketball is like that smokin'-hot chick at the bar that for whatever reason wants to go home with you, even though you didn't buy her a drink all night. So now every time you go to that bar you look for her and she's not there you're not happy.

Football in New Mexico is like the chubby girl you hooked up with in high school, she's nice, she's cool, she's just not that hot. Still, when the Super Hot One is not around, you can deal with the fatty. In fact, you might even look forward to seeing her.

Alright then, it's time for the fatty to come over. The Lobos are picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the top-heavy Mountain West Conference. Ho Hum. The real story of the MWC season is the potential of TCU to do what Bosie State did last season--bust up the BCS party. Many experts say it is possible and I agree, in fact I'm calling for an Undefeated Horned Frogs squad to win a BCS Bowl. Not the BCS Championship Game but a BCS Bowl. Of course, I predicted the Lobo B-Ball team would go undefeated in conference last year, so what do I know?

I do know the Lobos will suck once again, not win a bowl game once again and finally, Rocky third and Long will get canned. Let me be the first to say so long Rock, have a nice life.

I do love football and am very excited to see if the Colts can repeat despite all the personel losses , if the Vols can win the SEC, if Madden '08 is the best football game of all-time, if Rutgers can build on last season, if UNM can win a bowl game, if TCU can go undefeated, if Randy Moss can destroy the Patriots chemistry (I can't wait until he gets in a fight with Brandon Merriweather and they shoot each other at the same time, maybe one of the stray bullets will hit Brady in his throwing arm), if I can once again win my Fantasy Football League and how I fare in my new Dynasty League.
