Thank you Grantland Rice

In just two short days, we will reach that marker that most of us believe truly represents the beginning of autumn and solidifies our relationships with our alma maters. We will find ourselves reading the sports sections a little more often and observing with keen interest which teams are victors and which manage the upset in those last few seconds. Nicknames emerge, and if we are lucky, legends will be born. Highlights, heartache, and hope will mark the next few weeks as sports fans embrace the college football season.

Sports editors turn focus to their turn of phrase and writers who follow the dreams of athletes will wax poetic on the smallest of details. Even if you are not a sports fan, it is a great time to read an editorial and see if the game comes to life, if just for a moment.
