A Manifesto of Sorts

I've contemplated my reasons for opening the Mission, how they've changed, and the like. Stealing language from my first post, I've decided I want to concentrate on:

1. the cultural/historical importance of football
2. variations of fandom throughout the regions
3. common factors of success in program building
4. constitutent factors of "college football"
5. profiles of those who embody the spirit of college football

To that end, I am not focusing on the off-season dramas, and I am focusing on quality over quantity. My plan is to post twice a week. On Saturdays I'll be updating the Program Profiles, based off the analysis I did of each FBS program circa 2004. Though some of those profiles served as filler posts last off season, in this endeavor I'll post the original profile, then reevaluate as needed. About eight more programs have also joined the FBS since my original work. Sundays will be a day of reflection on one of the five concentrations.

So get ready for a fantastic year of football; 2011 will no doubt be a doozy.
