It's almost practice time for college football teams, and the first game is only about six weeks away. Finally! We've all been having football withdrawals.
We rarely see the day-to-day, behind the scenes work that the players put in, but we've got a glimpse of the Aggies' workout facility here. It's been named one of the Top 10 in the country.

A touchdown in College Station means you'll hear the boom, right? It's been a tradition for 30 years to set off a cannon each time the Aggies score a touchdown. But the cannon was silenced last weekend because of "safety concerns" at the new and improved Kyle Field.

It's opening weekend for the rest of the NFL (after last night's kickoff between the Packers and Seahawks), there are big college games already and it's only the second week of the season, and just cuz! Football fans don't need huge games to sit in the recliner and enjoy a bucket of wings. We just love football.
