College Football Season!

If you didn't know, college football season starts in just a few days. But then if you didn't know, you probably didn't care to begin with.

Soon, college football stadiums all over the country will fill with devoted fans. And even more fans will watch from the comfort of their own homes. Teams will do battle on the old gridiron to prove which one will have bragging rights in age old rivalries.

In our house, we like football of most any kind. But I especially prefer college football myself. Much more exciting than watching the highly paid players of the National Football League year after year. Fortunately, we all like the same teams, so our house isn't divided as are some of the other homes we know.

The above picture is from the University of Florida and the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, also known as The Swamp. It seemed like a big place when there were only around 10 or so people wandering around. I imagine when a visiting team walks in and sees the tens of thousands of fans cheering for the rival team, it can be downright intimidating.

And if you look closely, you can see Laura and Jaylin standing down by the field.
