FSU football is weeks away from their opener with the Crimson Tide – and one look at the official artwork for the game will get you beyond pumped.

With each and every passing day, fans of FSU football are getting closer and closer to what may be the most anticipated opener in the program’s history – and possibly the biggest opening weekend game in the history of college football. In less than seven weeks, the Seminoles travel to Atlanta for a game with Alabama that has dozens of storylines.

The main one, of course, being that this could be the first ever game in college football history to have the No. 1 and No. 2 teams open the season against each other. The Seminoles and Crimson Tide are also two of the favorites to end up making the College Football Playoff – possibly playing for the national title on January 8th in the same Atlanta stadium where they will open the year.

A game like this deserves plenty of pomp and pageantry leading up to kickoff – and the people at the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, who are hosting the Chick-Fil-A kickoff game featuring FSU football and Bama, have already scored a touchdown with the official artwork for the game that was released last week:

If you are going to sum up what this game means, this picture pretty much covers everything. Not only do you have two of the best programs in college football over the past decade, but you have two of the most storied programs in the entire game over the past half century.

Alabama will be bringing in their national titles and history under Bear Bryant that has continued with Nick Saban while FSU football will counter with a history that saw Bobby Bowden take the program from the depths to national glory – and watched as Jimbo Fisher did the same thing once he took over in 2010.

I think I can speak for the entire Chop Chat staff as well as the alumni and fan bases of both Florida State University and the University of Alabama when I ask the following question: Is it September 2nd yet?!?!?!
