By Casey Durkin
Football season is upon us. We are ready for kickoff tomorrow, so as the procrastinator that I am I waited until the last moment to post my season preview. So before bones are snapped and victors crowned I would like to put in what I think will happen this upcoming season, so later when it happens I can brag about it.
Playoff Picture: Here I will predict the “who, what, where, when, why, and how” of the 2010 playoffs. really, I’m just guessing (educatedly I might add) what 12 teams will earn a bid into the plaayoffs, and what will unfold from there.
