Life After College Football: Suffering From Offseason-Itis

If you’re like me, while watching a commercial for Prozac you’ll find that you’re experiencing most of the symptoms that they are describing.

Don’t worry, it’s just the offseason.

The first 75 days are behind us in the college football equivalent of mission control losing contact with a space shuttle as it drifts behind the moon, leaving a room full of scientists nervously waiting for their shuttle to emerge from the other side.  

There’s only one thing that can take the edge off of a football fan who is suffering in the offseason: entertain yourself with whatever’s readily available.

If reports of stock market collapse and trillion dollar bailouts don’t provide you with the feeling of a college campus in the fall, take a seat beside me here at mission control; our shuttle is still a long 5 months away.

Now don’t confuse any of this with the idea that there’s nothing going on in the college football world right now, particularly the SEC.

Between battling for the signatures of 18-year-old high school recruits and the personality clashes that have come as a result of some controversial coaching changes, there hasn’t been much peace and quiet to speak of from around the SEC.

What was already a field of multi National Championship-winning coaches has become even tougher with the addition of future NFL Hall of Fame coordinator Monte Kiffin to the University of Tennessee and Gus Malzahn to Auburn University.

While looking at an updated list of the 12 SEC coaching staffs, it gives the feeling of being on the sidewalk of the college football version of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
