It is unbelievable to believe that we have once again reached the most incredible time of the year the other ten months of the year have their moments, but I live for September and October. My favorite time of the year officially begins on the first day of College Football Season and officially ends with the last night of Halloween Horror Nights. The amount of things that make this time of year the best are plentiful. Football, Halloween Horror Nights, cooler weather after months of brutal heat, the length of daylight hours are perfect for someone like me who hates the really long summer days but also doesnt like the really short winter days, all the pumpkin flavored treats hitting the shelves, NHL will start up again, and the MLB Playoffs will take place. Whats not to love? For the 3rd straight year I will be sharing my picks for every Big Ten game and also some of the best games outside the Big Ten. And of course when the NFL makes its return next week, Ill be picking that as well. Here we go with another year! As usual many teams open their season with cupcake opponents, but there are a few toughies this week as well.
