How do you prepare for the College Football season?

Yes! I over analyze and watch each play like 10 times because you can use the 10 second rewind and fast forward options. Let's me see exactly how well a play was blocked or if someone missed the hole on a run or wvu missed a block
"A really good high school coach could win at Notre Dame"? Well my friend, ND did indeed hire a real good HS coach and he didn't win at ND. He did elevate the Irish to #1 in the land for one full week though.
I still remember how furious my father was at that hire... good news is, relating to today, people thought during the Faust era ND was done for good and could never win again. That makes me confident we will see bright days again.

I've posted how many times?
being an official at the HS and collegiate level, I get ready by watching film and getting back in the rules books and interpretations. While this is a year round endeavor, it gets into high gear around the beginning of June.
"He did elevate the Irish to #1 in the land for one full week though."
Something that Weis, Tyrone and Davie never accomplished!
Lou had them there, and even Kelly had the Irish @ #1 for a small period!
In 2012, BK had the Irish as #1 in the BCS and #1 in the GSR at the same time. I believe he is the only one to accomplish that but I'm not 100% sure.
ND was #1 under Kelly for 6 weeks. (Late November to early January).
I believe ND opened 1997 as #2 at home vs GT in Davie’s first game? Barely won, then got blown out by Purdue.
Really? 2014 ND began 7-1 before being eliminated in the 8th game against Arizona State in the 8th game. ND had victory snatched from Florida State by the refs, and the defense was decimated by injury by season's end. ND got several defensive players back and rebound for a nice win against LSU.
2015 ND was eliminated by Stanford in the last game of the season.
2016 ND went to hell and back before Kelly totally rebuilt the coaching staff.
2017 Sat. November 11th Miami. Went to Miami number 3 and was eliminated by Miami. Stanford finished off a promising year. Again ND rebound for a sweet win over LSU.
I say again ND, in the college football playoff era, has made some nice runs into November. We'll see what happens in 2018. Finish the MISSION lads and answer the question... Can a 12-0 or 11-1 ND team get into the playoffs? I say a definiant YES on 12-0; but 11-1 I've got to see it before I believe it.!!!!!!!
2014 was about halfway to deep. Did you cut off the time period somewhere above? I thought you were talking about all of BK's tenure.
bahaha... other schools with much worse situations axed coaches in rebuilds in year 3 or 4 for not performing (UT) to say you disregard the first 5 seasons is crazy.
One week before the season starts, I have the entire run of the TV show “My Mother the Car” on CD.
I watch every episode and it gets me ready for the season.
