Ah yes, it's that time of year again. The time where men become boys as they root for their favorite football teams (I'm of course referring to both American football and soccer here). The seasons are just beginning. Hope still abounds in everyone. Everyone still thinks that their teams can be champions. Some of our teams are defending championships, like my very own Red Devils of Manchester (who are doing this for the third year in a row), while others like my Seahawks are just hoping for redemption. Some like Washington State are hoping to rise out of mediocrity, and others like Boise State are just hoping for the chance to prove that they're as good as the rest. Some seasons are coming to and end. The Sounders are fighting their way into the MLS playoffs and the Mariners are doing their damnedest to get themselves out of contention. So here's to us, the fans, and to hoping that the right teams (mainly mine) find their way to the top.
