When do you move into football mode?...

[dawgstudent]

or will you let this baseball season marinate a little while longer.

Traditional "college football advent" season starts with SEC Media Days. Anything before that and you're teetering on becoming the sports equivalent of the family who puts the Christmas tree up right after Halloween (says the guy posting on a college sports message board in the middle of the summer).

About the same time I start getting ready for bow season, early August.

Media Days helps, but I don't get into football mode until ESPN realizes no one is watching Baseball Tonight so they cut off baseball coverage at the beginning of August in favor of 2 or 3 guys sitting in front of a camera making outrageous claims on who will win the title.

I tried to watch an MLB game last night and almost opted to kill myself by the 5th inning.

In all seriousness, probably NFL pre-season. I love that ****. It's 99% of college players I watched the previous season, just in NFL uniforms.

The excitement of college baseball rushed football mode this year. Usually it's media days.

When ESPN kicks off the first game which is usually on a Thursday. So the day of the first game.

For real, after the PGA Championship. Start to warm up after Media Days/British Open week.
