Countdown to College Football
Labor Day Weekend is almost here and I couldn’t be more excited. BBQ’s, Lawn Games, Fireworks and a 3 day weekend aside, it also marks the beginning of College Football. No other sport at any other level offers such tradition, camaraderie and non stop competitiveness as college football. It all kicks off this Thursday night so get your honey-do list done early, stock the fridge and put some new batteries in the remote. Football season is finally here!
