Everyone is itching to get started, especially over at USC, so let's adjust our under armor and dig into the 2008 season survival kit:

Calamine lotion for the Trojans' locker room?

 
Check.

Pacific 10 Conference pocket schedule?

Check.

Conference opener, Oregon State at Stanford, slated for Aug. 28?

Aug. 28!?

Lee Corso bull . . . dog detector?

Ruff!

Frommer's Travel Guide: "Tuscaloosa on $10 . . . a month."

Check.

Notre Dame Coach Charlie Weis' play-decoder ring?

Toss it, he's not calling plays this year.

South Carolina Coach Steve Spurrier's play-decoder ring?

Chuck it, he's not calling plays either.

GPS device for UCLA quarterbacks?

Set to locate end zone, but there have been glitches in training camp.

Rose Bowl contingency plans for possible Arizona State-Rutgers matchup?

Remember the Boy Scout motto: Be prepared.

There are some new rules this year, some new coaches, but it's basically the same old schools and the same old BCS.
