Purchased mine, too! Very excited. I'll just point out that for those on the fence, Kickoff isn't just a pre-season hype publication. It's like the bible for the upcoming season. Tons of stuff. Buy it.

Very true #3,   It also is a part of the support of this site....   Could you imagine following D3 Sports without this site?  Buy it.

Absolutely agree.  Just bought mine for the 4th year in a row.  For folks that haven't done it...  Please do because it is great and keeps this site humming along.

*Very* interesting nugget about Wooster's QB situation to be found in their team preview.

When does 90 minutes feel like an eternity?  Right about now.

It does not feel like an eternity to the people putting the last-minute touches on it. :)

But on top of that, I also remember years where we were making phone calls to try to wrap up where a writer had let us down, and we didn't publish until 1:30 or 2. And years where we were afraid to really commit to this publication date and had to resort to "on or around" August whatever.

In nine years we've figured a lot of stuff out. Heck, having photos for more than half of the team previews is a big deal for us, and we had one guy this weekend just doing photos. It's fun work.

It shows.  This is great stuff.  I particularly love Keith projecting the field.  In August!  Strong.

It is great stuff.....  I went into my bosses office to request the rest of the day off and I realized that I am President and run my own company... needless to say,  my request has been approved.  ;)

The shear amount of quality content is tremendous.

Ha. I was thinking about how I could answer the Pool C question in 20 questions, plus I needed candidates for BT25, and then I realized that all but one conference was in at that point, so I could take the predicted conference winners and make a field out of it ... and then like "what the heck, why not give this to the subscribers. No use leaving it in a notebook scratch pad."

Those are the Kickoff consensus projections, FWIW.

So next year we can expect you guys to take those teams and mock up a bracket, right?  :)

I am in, bought kickoff.  I am just a casual FB fan, but anything to support the site.

My afternoon was insane and I just finally got home and have a chance to log in to Kickoff. Fantastic work by the entire team. Like Bashbro said above I cannot imagine a D3 season without it.
