Hey, look! It’s an actual blog post (not a tweet) by me (not a guestblogger) about college football (not University of Denver basketball)! WHEEE!!! And it has a nerdy, Harry Potter-themed, SAT analogy-based title!

I’ll have more to say later (like, maybe this weekend) about tonight’s disappointing 77-66 Denver loss to CSU. For now, I’ll leave you with a video of DU Bally watching the opening tip:
I’ll be live-tweeting tonight’s game from Magness Arena, and you can follow along right here, thanks to Cover It Live. The game starts at 7:00 PM Mountain Time, but I’ll start tweeting a while before that. You can also listen on the radio here, or watch on FSN Rocky Mountain.
