It's Football Season...

...and ESPN's Pat Forde brings it in his first "Forde-Yard Dash" of the season:

As faithful readers know, The Dash is easily annoyed. This offseason's pet peeve: the use of Coach as a formal title. Like King Henry VIII, we have Coach Nick Saban.

It's worse on the fan message boards, where Internet shorthand references to head coaches always start with "C." As in, CTT for Coach Tommy Tuberville (5). CMB for Coach Mack Brown (6). CJT for Coach Jim Tressel (7). Hey, look! It's CJT leading the OSU.

The Dash is convinced that at this very moment, someone on a Utah State message board is typing CBG for Coach Brent Guy.

What if we were this silly in everyday life. Would we have WEJ: Welder Earl Jones? PWS: Plumber Walter Smith?

Maybe even CTD: Columnist The Dash?

Sample: CTD believes CMR (Coach Mark Richt) is loaded at Georgia and will have the Bulldogs playing in the BCS Championship Game against CPC (Coach Pete Carroll). CTD believes CBS (Coach Bill Stewart, not the network) has a lot of holes to fill on defense to meet expectations in his first year at West Virginia. CTD believes CMG (Coach Mike Gundy) must be an even bigger man now that he's 41.


The world would be a much better place if we could eliminate this stuff. That said, hope CBH and the Cadets get that first W tonight. Those who make the game, say hi to Knightshield for the rest of us.
