Kickoff Time

A big-name school pays a small school gobs of money to bring in their football team. Said team is clobbered to the delight of thousands of fans. In pro wrestling, you call that "jobbing." In college football, you call it the opening game. I'll tell that to the next BCS proponent who argues the entire season is essentially a tournament and that every game counts.

But let us leave the philosophical debates behind. Just enjoy these clips of the University of Arizona Wildcats' home opener, shot by your humble servant who tagged along with the KOLD News 13 sports team. By the way, the 'Cats pummeled Central Michigan State 19-6.
