Seven days from now we’ll be waist-deep in incoming scores, press releases and commentary. But for now, it’s a final Saturday of sanity.

The first full Saturday of football kicks off a stretch of craziness in the Coleman household that lasts until the end of March. Between D3football.com and D3hoops.com, the season lasts seven months (and never mind the overlap between seasons). That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it — the only thing worse than the seven-month season is that pesky five-month offseason.

Here’s hoping for a successful, exciting and competitive 2005-06 season.
