It’s finally starting to feel real, folks. It’s finally starting to feel like college football is right around the corner.

Athletes are back on campus, schedules are getting finalized and now the SEC has a start date for practices.

It’s as real as it’s going to get before it’s officially go time.

There are very few things that get my blood pumping like fall football camps heading into the college season. I read the reports like they’re CIA intel briefs on killing terrorists.

I just can’t get enough of them. I’m addicted to reading fall camp reports. Is that nerdy as all hell? Absolutely.

Do I care one bit? Nope.

We’re almost there! It’s been a long war and a tough war against coronavirus, but we’re only a few days out from training camp! I hope you’re all as excited as I am.
