Tuesday Grab Bag: The Return of Optimism

Before I get to the football action from the weekend, it would be completely out of character if I didn't shout from the rooftop that BASKETBALL SEASON IS BACK!!!!!!!

No, it's not November, yet, but the first practices will start to be held around the nation this very week.  In fact, as the Daily Camera's Brian Howell pointed out, the assembled media will cover hardwood action at the CEC before the next football game.  So, yes, this week hoops does come first.

We're still some 32 days from November itself, and over 45 days away from opening night, but the start of practices is an important mile post on the close of the offseason.  We're getting there, BasketBuffs, we're getting there...

Today in the bag, I'm talking the offensive showcase in Berkeley, CU's Biletnikoff candidate, and the upcoming football schedule.
