With college football season nearly a month old and Tennessee’s archery deer season set to open on Sept. 27, I’ve been wondering lately how much one might affect the other.

This weekend, Tennessee hosts Florida, Arkansas hosts Alabama, Mississippi State travels to Georgia Tech, Ole Miss plays an upstart Vandy team and Memphis plays host to Nicholls State.

Let’s say Memphis squeaks out a win and the other four lose.

That means the Mid-South’s five most popular teams would be a combined 7-11 heading into next Saturday with the bulk of their victories coming against creampuffs like Western Illinois, Louisiana Monroe, Samford and UAB.

With nothing better to do, many Mid-Southerners might hit the woods just to get a break from football.

It could be crowded out there, so please try to be safe!
