39 Days until kick off..

A new season is just around the corner and CF Experts is ready to get underway after our failed attempt last year.. why are we experts? Because we wanted to call ourselves that. And really, if you spent as much time obsessing over every stat and game in college football, you'd at least hope you could at least call yourself an expert on a blog site.

NCAA 2009 came out last Tuesday. Is it sad that waiting for a video game's release rivals the feeling of getting your hands on that first Playboy issue you saw when you were 14? NCAA is quite possibly the greatest way to waste entire days at a time without feeling gulity. After all, your team just collected 10-13 national titles in a span of 9 hours erasing all the bad memories from last season. However, there's something even greater about the videogame than the game itself, its release signifies that college football season isn't that far away. Unfortunately, the time between now and kick-off at 7:45pm EST on August 28th is the most painful. It is oft said that the reason God made pregnancy 9 months, and labor so intense and painful, is so that women would have just a glimpse what us men go through this time of the year.

Last year, a few of us thought we'd try to run a prediction site - something akin to CFN. This year, we're going to be realistic... with ourselves. Basically that means we're just going to post non-sensical "articles" (read: Rants) throughout the season. Many of them will mock your team, other posts will mock your team's fans. If it makes you mad? Please, email us. That way we can post the comments and we might not have to write something that particular day. No, but really, the more feedback the better. Unless you're a Big Ten fan whining for respect. Seriously? Oh, Ohio State is going to be good this year? For real?

That said, from all of us that contribute, there will be some severe biases.. and many of them will not make sense and they come all different conferences all across the country. Okay, so it's mostly biased towards the South - but there's a little ND, WVU, and Navy thrown in there for good measure. You're probably thinking we're a group of guys who randomly met on a late-night at a Bourbon Street Strip Club... or we're just crazy. It's the latter. But that's not to say we haven't done the former. And so we hope you take that into consideration when reading the blog. As you can see, we're fairly biased towards the South. So to improve upon this "bias?" We will have a resident Yankee, our own Seaside Tony if you will (Jaegerbombs!!) to give his own "in-flight/in-game commentary" that truly depicts how everyone really feels when your team fumbles on your opponent's 1/2 yard line.

Best of luck to everyone getting actual work done for the next 40 days... because we all know that comes to a screeching hault August 28th. Christmas comes early this year everyone ,as Labor Day is earlier than usual.

Here's to College Football...
