With less than a week left until the kickoff off the 2009 College Football season (AKA: The Best Time of the Year), I'm getting prepped to log a LOT of couch hours.

With that said, here's a quick rundown of what I deem must-see games for each week of the season.

Week One
16 Oregon @ 14 Boise State (9/3, 10:15 PM)-The Over/Under on this game should be set at around 85.
13 Georgia @ 9 Oklahoma State (9/5, 3:30 PM)-Watch the Ok. State offense. It could be the best in the nation.
20 BYU @ 3 Oklahoma (9/5, 7:00 PM)-Could be a battle of Heisman Finalists with BYU QB Max Hall and reigning Heisman Trophy winner, OU QB Sam Bradford, taking the field
5 Alabama @ 7 Virginia Tech (9/5, 8:00 PM)-Two top-ten teams taking the field in prime time. This game will have a BCS Bowl feel to it.
Maryland @ 12 California (9/5, 10:00 PM)-Cal runningback Jahvid Best begins his Heisman/Doak Walker/Everything Else campaign
11 LSU @ Washington (9/5, 10:30 PM)-Wow! An SEC team playing a Non-Conference game outside of the Confederate states!!!
Miami (FL) @ 18 Florida State (9/7, 8:00 PM)-Rivalry renewed. Remember when this game actually meant something outside of Florida?

Week Two
Clemson @ 15 Georgia Tech (9/10, 7:30 p.m.)-Two dynamic runningbacks, Clemson's CJ Spiller and GT's Jonathan Dwyer take the field in this match-up.
23 Notre Dame @ Michigan (9/12, 3:30 p.m.)-Michigan looks to avenge last season's ugly, 35-17, loss.
4 USC @ 6 Ohio State (9/12, 8 p.m.)-This one doesn't need a hook.

Tomorrow: Weeks 3-5

It was brought to my attention recently that the Detroit Lions made an administrative hire this offseason that didn't include new Head Coach Jim Schwartz.

The squad brought in former Jacksonville Jaguars VP of Player Personnel James Harris, giving him the title of Senior Personnel Executive.

According to his bio on the Lions' Web site, Harris spent the past six seasons as the Jaguars vice president of player personnel. While directing the Jaguars player personnel area, he oversaw all player acquisitions, including: college draft, free agency, undrafted player signings and the scouting of players in other professional leagues.

If you take a look at the Jags' draft history during the time Harris spent with the team, you'll notice a similar pattern to one familiar to all Lions fans:

Picks: 49
First-round picks: 6
Starters: 8

Take a look at the Lions' drafts during that same timeframe:

Picks: 47
First-round picks: 7
Starters: 9

Why would a team that just got rid of a general manager who couldn't draft well bring in someone else with the same shoddy drafting record? That's like trading a Jack Haley rookie card for a Dwayne Schintzius. Sure, Matt Millen drafted Charles Rogers (drug addict) and Mike Williams (bum), but Harris, in the same time frame, drafted Matt Jones (drug addict) and Reggie Williams (bum).

This move hasn't been discussed as much as others, which may mean Harris' role may be a minor one. Maybe it's so minor that the team didn't mention what his role will be with Detroit in Harris' online bio (it doesn't).

So watch out for some of the moves that are made. If certain draft picks don't pan out, that blame will be able to be spread around, which is a (somewhat) welcome change from the past.

Detroit Lions Special Teams Coach Stan Kwan doesn't have his priorities in order.

I live near the Lions practice facility. A number of the players and coaches have homes in that area, and some of them frequent bars in that pocket of Wayne County. There's no problem with that, except for the fact that I've seen Kwan - several times - at one of those establishments hours before kickoff.

I've heard stories about players (Chad OchoCinco) and coaches (pick one) who live and breathe football. They're at the practice facility before everyone else. They even sleep there on occasion. Those are usually the greats. Stan Kwan is the Special Teams Coach for the team that nine months ago finished the first 0-16 season in the history of the NFL. Why are you at a bar when you should be breaking down tape and game-planning. Sure, I've seen Kwan jotting down notes at times, sitting his pad next to a tall Bud Light. But when you see how the unit he is responsible for plays each weeks, it's easy to assume someone knocked that beer over, causing it to spill over to his notes and kill his game plan in the process.

How is he still employed? The Lions Special Teams unit has ranked as one of the worst in the NFL since Kwan took over the position in 2007 (Kwan has been a part of the Detroit's Special Team's staff for 10 years in two separate stints). Never mind that his players on special teams couldn't cover Thanksgiving leftovers with Reynold's Wrap. Never mind that the team's long punt return in 2008 was 27 yards (it's possible that could have been better, but when you're defense only forces 21 points in 16 games, what are you gonna do), while the long for Lions' opponents was 80 yards and a touchdown.

How is he still employed? At this point - considering his unit's performance in Saturday night's preseason loss to the Cleveland Browns, where Special Special Teamer (I borrowed that from my boy, Ro) Joshua Cribbs ran a punt back 84 yards for a score and had a long kick return he took to the crib wiped out - Kwan is about as employable as those losers who appear in Real World/Road Rules Challenge after Real World/Road Rules Challenge.

I understand you're not supposed to take much out of a preseason gave (save the 3rd tilt, which just so happens to be against the Indianapolis Colts Saturday. Start the Death March.), but the Lions special teams hasn't been good for some time now.

Kwan has been apart of that unit for a decade.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the team should do to remedy a BIG part of the problem.
