Football season kicks off

Forget the pumpkin-scented candles and fall décor – the best part about autumn is football. And in the South, that means the SEC.

Last weekend we got a taste with a Florida and Miami match-up, but this Saturday the games begin in full force. Visit the NCAA website for a complete schedule and draft your viewing game plan. A few games we’ll have an eye on include:

• UGA vs. Vanderbilt

• Alabama vs. Duke

• Tennessee vs. Georgia State

• Georgia Southern vs. LSU

• Auburn vs. Oregon

For NFL fans, the 100^th season starts on Thursday, Sept. 5, in Chicago.
