    It is officially college football season – I will let everyone’s applause and cheers die down – as Cal and Hawaii kickoff in Australia tonight, or I guess tomorrow for them. Sydney is so far ahead of us that it could be September for as much as I know.

    Meanwhile, Auburn named its starting quarterback, Tim Beckman’s time in Chapel Hill was short-lived, and Notre Dame named its captains for the season. Let’s take a look at some other notes in the college football news roundup.

    Come Be A Beaver – Oregon State head coach Gary Andersen is having an open tryout for interested students. Is this a bad sign for Beavers fans, or is Andersen trying to form his own version of the “12th man” that made Texas A&M special teams so fun to watch in the past.

    More Trouble For Tigers – Auburn safety Stephen Roberts was arrested on Wednesday night for possession of a gun and attempting to elude the police. Roberts is expected to be a starter in the secondary for defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.

    Two Huskers Suspended – Nebraska wide receiver Brandon Reilly and safety Nate Gerry will both miss the season opener on September 3 against Fresno State after being suspended by head coach Mike Riley for disciplinary reasons.

    I’m 49! I Have My Own App!!! – Okay, that joke has run its course, but Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy seriously has an app that you can download. No truth to the rumors that it has a section teaching users how to grow a mullet.
