College Football Is Back And Nebraska Fans Are Taking Over Ireland

Wake up, it's officially the 2022 college football season!

We haven't watched a real college football game since Georgia crushed Alabama way back on Jan. 10, but that ends TODAY. 

It's Week 0, ladies and gentlemen, and we have around the clock - and world - football beginning at noon sharp.

That's right. We start the day in Dublin, Ireland with a little Northwestern-Nebraska action, then come back to the states for 10 - count 'em, 10 - college football games throughout the afternoon.

Oh, you want the full slate?! You got it!

Nebraska fans take over Ireland

The obvious headliner there is Northwestern-Nebraska - a game that was originally scheduled for 2020 but canceled because of COVID.

Well, the teams - and fans - saved their tickets and have showed out so far this week.

Love it.

College football is BACK, folks. We waited ... let me check my calendar ... 229 days for this, and it's here.

Fire up the grills, call the bookies, crack a beer and settle in for some Austin Peay-Western Kentucky action before heading across the pond for some Big Ten mayhem.

And don't tell me you're not ending the day with a little Vanderbilt-Hawaii action. Can't beat it.

Welcome to the 2022 college football season.
