I have to admit it, years ago I never thought I’d get into the hysteria that is National Signing Day for college football players. Somewhere inside of me, a cynical Hunter Thompson-like clone would tell me that it’s all a lot of ridiculous hooey. Meaningless speculation about kids getting scholarships to attend college — just a bunch of names of players you don’t know. But without a doubt I’ve caught the wave.
From linebacker Michael Abadin (headed to Bryant) to linebacker David Zocco (headed to Rhode Island), I’ve finally come to the point in my life that I was genuinely excited about signing day and the variety of football championship subdivision schools that announced on Signing Day and will be announcing in the coming months. (Or else it’s a midlife crisis, a possibility that can’t be ruled out.)
Sure, it’s overblown. Sure, the ranking systems are ridiculous, subjective and almost certainly incorrect. But “Christmas for College Football” is one day where all fans can look forward and think about conference titles and postseason success without the ugly reality of wins and losses getting in the way. It’s a day where everyone seems like an all-star — and there’s nothing wrong with that. �
