I love college football. Anyone who knows me, probably knows what I’m doing about this time on a Saturday. And while I hail from the SEC, went to Georgia and have always loved “old man style” football, I’ve also lived in Southern California and now in Minneapolis where I’ve gotten to enjoy Pac 12 and Big 10 football. Doing work at Big 12 and Big East schools has also led to me attending many a game in many a stadium.

Therefore, I’m going to be experimenting around with comments for the next few weeks. In addition to the spam filters and captcha requirements I currently have I’ll be expiring comments on articles over 90 days and a few other things WordPress makes kinda’ easy.
