If you haven't noticed, the college football preview magazines have finally hit the stands. This of course means that the unofficial college football preseason has officially begun and we can now start the non-stop previewing of everything that we are forced to wait for impatiently.In past seasons, and in an effort to give a bit of a scatter-brained all-inclusive preview of the coming season, I've done a list of 100 things that I was looking forward to in order to detail some of the things that I was excited to see. I guess I wasn't looking forward to anything last year, because I never did one.This year is no different. Actually, it's different than last year I guess. At any rate, here are 100 things that I'm looking forward to seeing this season.1. Watching ESPN Gameday try to figure out how to fill two hours of programming every week with Tim Tebow gone to the NFL. And seeing the lost look in Gary Danielson's eyes when he does his first Florida game. At some point, I expect him to mutter something to himself, apologize and say, “I'm sorry, but I just can't do this”, then take off his headphones and walk out of the booth. Set your DVRs!16. Having a head coach on Florida State's sideline who realizes that there is actually a game going on, and who isn't constantly asking the sideline reporter if it's time for his halftime interview yet.17. Seeing new Tennessee Head Coach Derek Dooley embracing Vol Nation the way Lane Kiffin never did—by becoming blood brothers with anybody who asks.18. Tommy Tuberville promising to keep a high-scoring offense at Texas Tech, then firing offensive coordinator Neal Brown at halftime of the season-opener because he only ran the ball 47% of the time.42. Auburn at Alabama on November 26. The Tigers get a week off prior to the game. Giving Gus Malzahn two weeks to prepare for a defense is like giving Charlie Weis 18 months to prepare for a defense.57. Seeing how long it takes Craig James to sue Tommy Tuberville for cruelly putting a splint on Adam James' compound fracture after practice. It was humiliating the way he made him sit in the ambulance until they finally got him to a hospital!95. Junior college transfer Cameron Newton running dreamy Gus Malzahn's dreamy offense at Auburn.

I would like to add one:Watching the bama nation scramble after losing their first game in '10, being to a sub-par team, and calling for Nick Sabans head.
You callin' for a LaMonroe?
More along the lines of a South Carolina.
Or Arkansas.
That would be fitting considering as much smack the local bammers talk about Ar-Kansas.
#101 - To save money, SPUAT made Nick Saban's statue life size.
I don't remember us losing to Monroe even though we have played them in Little Rock with them as the home team.I think the SEC would kick us out if we ever lost to a team like that.
I'm thinking we have redeemed ourselves at this point.
