Okay, at what level of desperation do you reach for some college football, to to sit down — on purpose — to hear what Lee Corso has to say about the upcoming season of college football? That’s up to you to decide, except for the final thing which I believe to be rooted in fact.

10. College GameDay will become a two-hour show this fall.

We started 20 years ago with a half-hour show in studio. Then, in 1993, we took it on the road for the first time at the Florida State-Notre Dame game. Then, several years ago, we went to 90 minutes on the road every week. Now, the demand for the show is so great that we’re going to two hours. The College Football Hall of Fame is going to honor the show in December for its contribution to the sport. We are just a bunch of guys sitting around talking about college football. How great is that ?

I have a bad feeling about this. That means more time for longer, more annoying musical intros and graphics; more soft-focus profiles in overcoming tradgedy/hardship/poverty/bad parents/raised by another family member/crime story where “football was his escape/outlet/refuge.”
