You follow all the big name schools, eh? THAT is was college football is all about. Good job. Thanks.
Ha! Thanks! The COVID nonsense has ruined this season because I usually cover college football for the NAIA, USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association), NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) and NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) plus NCAA Divisions 2 and 3. Only the NAIA is playing this year.

Ha! I know what you mean.
