Finally, it’s that time.  College football is back.  This article is the beginning of a weekly look at top games, teams, and names making news.  I will also provide predictions for every game, along with some brief thoughts on select games.  So without further ado…

 

What happens the morning after a night of chipotle-habanero wings?  A HOT SEAT

 

Oh, no, there’s a wildfire in Indiana…wait, it’s okay folks, it's just the smoke billowing out from under Charlie Weis’ ample backside.

 

Is it just me or is the Rich Rodriguez tenure starting to feel a little like Billy Gillespie’s time at Kentucky?

 

Steve Kragthorpe needs to make like the stadium’s name (Papa John’s) and deliver.

 

Another down year and Al Groh will lose the R and H, and become Al Go.

 

“I’m sending out an SOS”….Steven Orr Spurrier needs QB Garcia to get the message this season.

 

Todd Dodge, I hope your son is as good as advertised, and that you have found a defense this offseason.

 

Finally, a memo to J.D. Brookhart at Akron, don’t open against Penn State when you are fighting for your job.
