So Close We Can Taste It


It is just about here. The 2010 season will begin Thursday night when the epic struggle between Wake Forest and the Presbyterian Blue Hose of the Big South Conference kicks off at 6:30. Later that evening no. 2-ranked Ohio State opens their season with a surprising Thursday night game--what the Big Ten Network wants, the Big Ten Network must get--against Marshall, while Pittsburgh and Utah tangle in the night's best match-up and USC finds themselves up against Leno and Letterman with their late tilt at Hawaii.

Opening week is special as the absence of regular season NFL action allows college football to take over the airwaves. From Thursday through Monday night plenty of the top teams in the nation will be in action, with the final game of the weekend--Boise State versus Virginia Tech on Monday night--providing us with the most important contest. Other games I look forward to seeing are Notre Dame hosting Purdue in coach Brian Kelly's debut as head man of the Irish, Oregon State versus TCU, Washington and BYU doing battle, LSU knocking heads with North Carolina and Connecticut taking on Michigan. Alabama opens their defense of their national championship with what should be a laugher against San Jose State, while Florida tangles with Miami--Miami of Ohio. Let the games begin.
