Daly Doses: Thoughts, reflections, and derision from the Mile High City!

• You just completed your final weekend without either major college or professional football for the year.

• Say “hello” to not getting anything done on the weekends until spring.

• We get some really good college football games already this first weekend. TCU vs Minnesota, Washington vs. Boise State, Louisville vs. Auburn, Arizona State vs. Texas A&M, and Wisconsin vs. Alabama are a pretty good slate for the Week 1.

• There seem to be three or four major college football stories to follow this season.

• Can Ohio State repeat as National Champions?

• Can Jim Harbaugh return Michigan to dominance?

• Can the SEC return to it’s traditional spot atop the college football world by winning another National Championship?

• Can we combine the rosters of Colorado, Colorado State, and Air Force to make one team that could even get ranked?

• Okay, that last one might not be on the national radar.

• Probably just mine.

• A week after trying to get Robert Griffin III killed, the Washington Redskins have announced that he will be benched for the always average Kirk Cousins.

• When Griffin’s head clears he’s going to be really mad.

• Did you see American golfer Brian Harman made not one but two holes-in-one in his final round at The Barclays, which was won by Jason Day?

• Harman finished 30th in the final standings.

• He may never be one of the great players of all time but you can’t take those two plays away from him.

• He’s like Eli Manning.

• Do you know how hard it is to play quarterback in the NFL?

• Matt Cassel, Kellen Clemens, and Matt Schaub all still have jobs.

• You barely have to do anything productive and if you can do even a mediocre job you have job security.

• There aren’t many jobs like that.

• Maybe a meteorologist.

• Or a politician.
