As the season approaches...

The excitement is picking up around CC and the rest of Cardinal Nation for football and I have even found myself thinking about a red-tinted 9-3 season, but I also couldn't help thinking of some things that I was not looking forward to this year. In no particular order, here are 3 things that would make me extraordinarily happy if I never saw/heard at PJCS again.

1. Receivers lining up wide open- It's a simple, modest goal, but I am sure Ron English might have this near the top of his list as well.

2. That damn P.O.D. (?) song they play when the D makes a play- Nothing pisses me off more than hearing, "Boom, here comes from the boys from the South" as we are losing to Syracuse by 2 TDs in the fourth quarter. Surely to God there is another song they can play when the D steps up and rocks some poor soul's world.

3. The Koaching staff's black pants/white shirt combo choice-

Maybe it is just me, but there approximately 1,467 better outfit choices than that.

Obviously, these are all little things, but, along with shitloads of Maker's Mark, ice cold beer, and spread-covering Ws, would go a long way to making this season as enjoyable as possible. Anybody got anything else that has been sticking in their crawl since last year besides the same ol' bitching points (people leaving early, drunks throwing up on your shoes, and oh yeah- home losses)?
