Hello friends! Well, I must say that I have been enjoying the college football season to date. I have been enjoying the rough-and-tumble gridiron grinding from all of the top teams this season. Oh, the joy and pain of the up-and-down season, the triumphs and defeats. In fact, I have been so immersed in watching the usual college football suspects vie for one of those four coveted college football playoff spots this season that when I looked the other way–the return of college basketball was in my face, staring like a jealous lover; and I was patiently waiting with much anticipation.

So, when the college basketball season kicked off on Monday night, I was swept away by that familiar feeling of college basketball bliss! With the return of college basketball, this truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Moreover, if the games that I viewed and peeped this week are any indication of the quality of basketball that will be on display this season . . . well, get ready for another season chock with even more parity within the college basketball ranks.

College Basketball let me tell you how much I have missed thee.
