I was thinking about it today (and plan to write about it more detail soon), but the A&M game is as hyped a season opener as I can remember. Obviously it's a drastic change of pace from the usual FCS opponents to begin the year, but in my 20 or so years following the team it's hard to recall a season opener that was more eagerly anticipated. The only ones that compare in my memory are the 2002 Nebraska game and 1998 UW game, but even still those weren't anywhere near this magnitude IIRC. For those who have seen more than I have here, which others would you hold in comparison in terms of hyped season openers?
