The season is here!

Welcome boys and girls, the show is about to begin. The greatest spectacle that is NCAA College Basketball.

ESPN and Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook has done their preseason analysis of all the division 1A teams, and we are lucky enough that SDSU was given a free preview. Or maybe that goes to show you that we are not worth the money.

In the eight times Steve Fisher has returned at least four starters from the previous season, those teams won at least 21 games and all eight advanced to the postseason.

It should be nine in 2008-09 for Fisher's San Diego State Aztecs. Entering his 10th season in San Diego, Fisher returns all five starters, eight lettermen and 12 players who have won at least 20 games at a college program and advanced to the postseason.

The Aztecs return 96.3 percent of their points and 84.8 percent of their rebounds from last season's squad that went 20-13 and advanced to the postseason for the third straight year -- a first-round loss in the NIT to Florida.

So there is hope of sorts for this season, until we woke up to the following headline:

San Diego St. 59, UC San Diego 40

Isn't UCSD a division 2A school? Shouldn't we have won like by a bunch more?

The Aztecs have won all 10 games against its Division II opponents, winning the previous nine by an average margin of nearly 26 points. The outcome was the closest since 1969 when San Diego State won by five points.

And we are taking that to Arizona State on Tuesday? Really? Oh boy...

Next up, ERIN ANDREWS!!!

That should increase page hits. But we wouldn't just say that without giving you something. Behold EA Sports NCAA College Basketball 2009 with Erin Andrews.

We don't get the attraction but there ya go.

Finally, for our female and non-traditional male readers here's a pic of Tyler Hansbrough looking quite dapper.
