Big Announcement

I don't really count myself as a huge college football fan. Maybe it's the fact that there's no playoff system, and therefore an inconclusive national champion. It might also have something to do with the fact that I went to a Division III liberal arts college that until 1968 only admitted women, doesn't have a football team and counts club women's rugby as its most successful sport. So yeah, kinda missed out on the whole game-day tailgating experience.

Anyway, it's a rare Saturday when I park myself on the couch for hours to toggle back and forth between the days best college football offerings. Even rarer still is the Saturday night when I sit down to watch the highlights of that day's action. Well, for whatever reason, last night happened to be one of those nights and it may have changed the way I view the game for the foreseeable future.

Chief among yesterday's biggest games was the University of Illinois 23-20 upset of Michigan State. And leading the way for the Fighting Illini was a freshman quarterback by the name of Juice Williams. Yes, that's right. His name is Juice Williams.

I apologize that this somehow managed to slip my attention for the first four weeks of the season, but I promise you I'm rectifying the situation right here. Beginning at 12:37 AM this morning, Juice Williams is now the official quarterback of North O Forbes. As for what this means...well, I'm not exactly sure. I know there will be weekly updates of his performance and a free blog tee-shirt coming his way if we ever have the market or the capital to make them (stop snickering). Other than that, I'm willing to be spontaneous.
