Hi, it’s Mike, not Brad. Don’t let the byline fool you. Awkward situation for me today. I’m traveling early in the day to get back to campus for the 3 p.m. press conference, and even with seamless travel, I’ll be a little bit late. We won’t have quite the fun here today that we had last season.

Or will we? I’ll put it on you, if that’s OK. We’ve set up a mini headquarters below in which critical tweets will make it into a stream. The comments are open to you for updates, comments, critiques and more. Enjoy the day. I’ll touch base, as can, and then stop in to clean things up after the 3 p.m. presser.
