Lifting the Steele curtain

There are very few days of the sporting year that excite me as much as the one I'm going to tell you about. It's June 9, 2009. That's the day I will wake up much earlier than I usually do, head on over to Wegmans, and pick up a copy of The Bible Phil Steele's 2009 College Football Preview Magazine. Honestly, if your blood isn't pumping just thinking about this, then just get the hell out of here and never show your face around college football again.

Yes, it's that serious.

Other "experts" will make futile attempts to accurately preview this upcoming college football season. There will be more than enough to go around. But, only one will be actually worth reading: Phil Steele.

I'm not plugging this magazine for any reason other than that I feel it is the best, most comprehensive preview out there. As In The Bleachers put it last year, "It's the best thing $8.95 plus tax could ever buy."
