Roughly 30 hours from this very moment, we wage war. The honorable men of the Brohm squad return to Cardinal Stadium to kick off the 2025 season.

Navigating the offseason has always been a struggle. We cross off the days on the calendar, as if we're waiting to be released from solitary confinement. We lay awake at night, wishing we could fast forward to a Saturday morning in the fall. Our dreams are dominated by jokers and thieves, Lamar hurdles, and TeddyB H20 slanging that thing with a broken left wrist and sprained right ankle.

In this age of college athletics, the road to week 1 becomes even more daunting. Multiple transfer portal windows and NIL bidding wars are added peaks and valleys that keep us on the edge of our seats year around. The identity of a team can be changed at the drop of a hat, both positively and negatively.

Lucky for us, the captain of our ship is Jeffrey Scott Brohm. He ain't afraid of no daggum portal. He's managed to keep multiple key pieces from last years team while also adding some transfers that will have an impact from the first kickoff.

Fans will be guzzling Miller Lights until they go cross eyed. Isaac Brown and Duke Watson will be taking a blow torch to opposing defenses. Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy making highlight plays. Stanquan Clark and TJ Quinn knocking people's teeth out.

I can't wait to nose dive straight into the tailgate parking lot. Joker and the Thief hitting the loud speakers will be euphoric. I hope Louie parachutes down onto the field. If you don't have chills right now, you need your pulse checked, jack.

Also, I love the jersey designs for this year. I like a lil flash every once in a while, but I'm all for keeping the main thing the main thing. The black alternates look especially clean.

Get your rest tonight, Card nation. We need all hands on deck. I think we're in store for one hell of a year.

Oh, and I almost forgot!
