Once Upon a Time...

I decided to create a college football blog and invited my friend The Royal Dutch of Dukes (TRDoD) to contribute. That day was today, and this is that blog.

By way of introduction, we are two lads from Jacksonville. My family migrated here from that peachiest of states, Georgia, where my father developed an unhealthy love of the University of Georgia. TRDoD was born and raised here, the son of a second generation University of Florida grad. They say football is a religion in the south, and just like any good zealots our fathers indoctrinated us early. I even cried at the age of six after a Georgia loss in the '82 Sugar Bowl. Fuck Dan Marino. So we grew up to be adult fans of the two schools, TRDoD becoming a third generation graduate of the University of Florida, and I, eschewing class in favor of that wackiest of weeds (or anything else that seemed more interesting, like girls and sleep), failed to graduate from any of the schools I attended. This blog will serve the dual purpose of fulfilling our desire to write about something we love and hopefully entertain any readers we may attract. I hope you enjoy.

There are a few promises I would like to make to the readers:

We vow to mock any and all commentators as their inane, cliché spouting douchebaggery demands. This goes doubly for Brent Musburger.

We vow to talk about something other than Georgia and Florida. We may even on occasion stray outside the SEC to take a peek at lesser conferences.

We vow to never argue in favor of a playoff, because playoffs suck and college football should remain the uniquely beautiful snowflake it is.

We vow to remind everyone at least once a month that Nick Saban is an asshole.

We vow to post pictures of co-eds in various states of undress as often as possible.


We vow to make off the field antics a central theme during this boring off-season period.

We vow to talk only about college football unless we'd rather talk about something like the best energy/alcohol drink (It's still Sparks so far).

We vow to try to be funny most of the time. However, we won't be held accountable if we are not, because it's probably your fault for not getting the joke you humorless asshole.

Most imporantly, we vow to give 110% and do our part to help the team.
