It all starts tonight!!!

Are you ready for some football?!?!?!?!

My Alma Mater, the Central Michigan University Chippewas take on the Boston College Eagles up in Mt. Pleasant this evening (6pm) to kickoff the college football season. Which means this Saturday is all college football and more importantly, next Sunday is all NFL.

Yes, I like the NFL way more than NCAA. I just do, no reason why, I just do. I think it is the parity and the fun of gambling on the games. Yes, I gamble on the games by playing in office pools and Fantasy Football. Yes, I won the overall pot last year and Fantasy Football (over $500). Yes I gave most of it away to my church and the other Outreach ministries.

Anyway, tonight is perhaps the biggest game in CMU history. I know they beat MSU twice back in the early 90s, but tonight's game is on ESPN2 (NATIONAL AUDIENCE, first time ever for CMU in a regular season game where they were the home team) and it is the first time a big time school from one of the BCS conference has played in Mt. P in perhaps forever.

I am very happy that it is fall time, the mornings are cooler, and football is on TV.

Go Fire Up Chips
