January 1st

Another year to enjoy College Football - and to revel in it every day in one form or another, whether it is reading, talking, writing or research. Nothing is finer for me than taking a few moments each day to reflect on this great sport, which is constantly changing but never loses its sparkle.

And with the arrival of 2023 it means a new year has started for this website that I created to further my love of the game. This last month I tried not to look ahead to the Fall 2023 season, but I have found it impossible to not look to the future to try and figure out the direction that I want to take this site. This year my motto: Stick with what got you here.

Looking back to December regarding this site, I was just hoping to match last year’s visits, which would require a solid last month. By Christmas I was accepting that it wasn’t going to happen, so I started to think about what adjustments I should and could make for the next year. Then, one of my lists started trending on the internet on the 28th, and my visits jumped - they jumped enough to get me just short of 12,300 visits for the year - an increase of almost 250 over 2021. A very nice kick to get me excited about 2023!

Lastly, I have to say how fun it is to see someone wearing college apparel and striking up a conversation with them about the area, the school, or shockingly, the football team. It’s even better when it’s a remote Division III school that gets discussed!

Happy 2023 to one and all!!!
