July 4th

Happy Independence Day to my United States' readers. It's always great to celebrate a birthday and today it's America's turn.

We are blessed to live in this country. Thank you to all the men and women who serve our country in the Armed Forces.

We as citizens also have a responsibility to keep our country free. It seems some of our government officials want to take away more and more of our freedoms. Please remember that when you vote in November.

Enjoy your day and thank you for reading All About College Sports.

The USA Today College Football Preview

I landed a copy of the USA Today College Football Preview the other day. It’s definitely a keeper and one I can refer to during the season.

This preview magazine is more meat-and-potatoes rather than steak-and-sizzle. There is a color photo on the cover (regional—mine is Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd). The paper stock is heavy so I won’t have newsprint ink on my hands. The preview doesn’t have a top-25 but it does highlight top teams. It also features top players who could have turned to the NFL but chose to return for another college season. The preview also breaks down teams in various conferences. One of my favorite aspects of the USA Today previews is the TV schedule. I’m pleased to inform you that it is included in this issue too. It also has a handy bowl schedule.

So I think I’m ready for the season once I consume the greater parts of this preview. Now that the Fourth of July is history, college football junkies can really prepare for the season. It’s only about eight weeks away, but enough time for you to purchase your own preview magazine.
