A Saturday Religion

I don't know about you, but where I come from College Football is huge. In the South, Sundays are a good day but Saturdays are when people live and die. Sunday is mainly for discussing Saturday and the whole week is for speculating and arguing about the other two days. Church is important, but the closest thing to a second temple is the football stadium. This is why we have named this blog "A Saturday Religion." While football is big in other parts of the country, it is especially revered in the South. And so, while we will look at College Football as a whole, we will focus on what takes place in the Southeastern Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference.

It is important to note that we also write this blog for those people who feel they have gotten the short end of the stick in football antiquity. You should know that one of our writers is an Arkansas Razorbacks fan, another is part of the Clemson Tigers nation. This means that there is an understanding of football traditions, a yearly feeling of optimism, and an understanding of painful feelings when your team gets shafted or self-destructs or whatever causes teams (and fans) to have nightmares.

Therefore, in honor of the sport that we love so much and in honor of those who have made us feel betrayed (including writers, commentators, coaches, etc.) we present to you "A Saturday Religion." We hope you enjoy.
