SONG OF THE DAY (#183)

what's that smell? oh yes: COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

few things make me happier than the start of college football. i can take or leave the nfl, but college, well, that's about as much fun as you can have a saturday afternoon or thursday evening. and it all starts tonight.

for most of us in utah, college football means pledging allegiance to ute crimson or byu blue (honestly, is there really such a thing as a weber state or utah state football fan? didn't think so). some folks call it 'the holy war,' and it's a pretty apt description. utah and byu fans hate each other. me, i'm 100% ute in the heart of byu country (i live a five minute drive from the byu campus). but there's reason for extra optimism this year because we've got brian johnson back at qb after he redshirted last year while recovering from knee surgery. he's a dynamic player: he can throw and run. he's michael vick without the kennel. he'll create all sorts of problems for opposing defenses. mark my words: by the end of october people will be talking about brian johnson as a legit heisman trophy candidate. and since he's only a junior this year, he's gotta be a lock for one of the favorites next year.

the utes kick off the season tonight in corvallis, oregon as the utes take on the oregon state beavers. so got a massive plate of nachos, grab a drink, and turn into fox sports mountain west @ 8:00 pm and watch the utes take the first step towards reclaiming the mountain west crown.
here are a coupla football-themed songs to get you in the mood:

��� the go! team: huddle formation
��� hellogoodbye: touchdown turnaround [don't give up on me]
