The bad news is that the summer is flying by. The good news is that it is football season.

The biggest news of the day from day 1 might be the news that Brooks Michel will not be playing this season and his career may be over due to concussion issues. According to ESPN1500 he has been granted a medical redshirt and will remain on scholarship for the year. That is frightening information and I hope he gets his head cleared up.

I don't know that I have ever had so many links worth linking in one day so here we go...
