Paradise. From now
until sometime in January. Paradise for
true fans of football. American that
is. NCAA Division One College
Football. From the shores of Florida to
the Yukon, from Honolulu to Maine, crowds which make the pros jealous will fill
football palaces to cheer on their favorite teams. Although there were a few ceremonial games
last weekend, this weekend marks the official start of the NCAA College
Football Season. 
Today this weekend will be filled with David and Goliath
moments, as powerful teams invite their obligatory poor step cousins to be
beaten at their homes. Last night,
already, No. 18 Michigan State beat Tulsa 28 to 7.
No. 19 Wisconsin showed no mercy to hurricane ravaged (or soon will be)
South Florida, whipping them 49- 0.
Don't miss the great, new, slick uniforms the teams will be
wearing for the opening weekend. Since
Oregon alums at Nike began to dress the Ducks, weekly, with amazing kit, other
teams have caught on. Spare the expense. Readers of this space will not be upset.
Today's menu shows only one game between ranked teams,
neither at home, to make it more interesting.
Number 11 Oregon will take on Number
16 Auburn at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Dallas Cowboys home stadium will maybe
see more action and drama today than in all the upcoming NFL season, as these two teams duke it out on the field. Oregon does not have a good history here,
having lost several key games the infrequent times they have been featured
here. 
Meanwhile back and Flushing Meadows... Novak... and RF
(Round three of the US Open of Tennis continues in New York
City, in Queens today)
and the Vuelta (more tomorrow)
and who could forget the AFL playoffs.
