I can’t wait. My beloved LSU Tigers kick off a little more than 72 hours against Mississippi State on Thursday evening. And, two more weeks until the Titans head to Jacksonville. Here are my Top 10 reasons you know football is right around the corner:

1. You actually watched a High School football game on ESPN because a) it’s football & b) there’s nothing else on.
2. You’ve spent way too much time analyzing your fantasy football draft - time you should have spent with the ‘ol fam.
3. You’re not tired of the Nick “Satan” Saban hype yet.
4. You’ve already placed your bets on your favorite College Football Bowl grids.
5. You sent your gameday attire out to the cleaners to have it freshly laundered and pressed for the first game. Because, if you win it’s not gonna be clean again until you lose. Respect the streak, man.
6. You had a dry-run, at the stadium of your choice, with all of your tailgating friends to make sure the operation still runs smoothly.
7. You’ve not dared to udder the words, “wait ’till next year,” …yet. Gotta give it at least until November the 1st.
8. You’ve been listening to radio re-runs from last year to remind yourself of the little phrases and quirks of your favorite radio announcer. You’re ears have to be in tip-top, gameday shape, too.
9. You’ve scoured the Internet looking for that one pundit who thinks your team has a shot at the Super Bowl or National Championship - and proclaimed him to be a genius.
10. You had to get a prescription for Ambien because you’re losing sleep in anticipation of your team’s first kickoff of the year.
