Marching orders - Buffalo

I could sit here and type to you about how you need to count the number of snaps Malcolm plays, or how many pancakes John Theus gets, or how even the carries are between Boo/Marshall/Gurley/et al. I could even ask you to observe the development of LeMay, the blocking of Artie Lynch and the kicking of the two freshmen.

But you know all that. We've spent eight months discussing, arguing and fussing over all of it. There's no need in me doing that, for today is about one thing - the absolute joy the college football season brings.

So your orders today are simple. Enjoy the day, a cold beverage, your family, any friends you haven't ostracized, the warm sun from your seat in Sanford...or from your patio just before you settle into the sofa with the remote.

Enjoy today. For like so many great days on the calendar, it only comes once a year.
