Post-Presidents’ Day February can be cruel and cold for football fans.
National signing day has come and gone. Preseason scrimmages are months away. If it’s like a lot of years, Tom Brady has won another Super Bowl or Alabama has won another national championship. Gridiron doldrums descend.
It is different this year: Although the sport’s richest powers crowned Alabama anew only last month, Division I college football is already back. There was a game on Saturday evening, when McNeese State beat Tarleton State, 40-37, and there is a robust slate this weekend. In fact, the schedule calls for college football every weekend until mid-May.
