College football all-star game season is upon us. For NFL Draft types, it means the first chance to pick out prospects, while college fans must count it as the last actual, on-field activity until like two entire months from now. (For everyone, it means we get to see helmets with mixed-and-matched helmet logos arrayed in every direction. That’s probably the highlight.)
2012 College Football All-Star Game Schedules: Senior Bowl, East-West Shrine Game And More
Fans of obscure college football players, the NFL Draft, and helmet fashion, rejoice: it’s time for college football all-star games, from the little ones to the 2012 Senior Bowl.
While the smaller games offer only one or two players the non-fiend has ever heard of (don't come crying to us once you realize you've missed your last chances to enjoy Jacory Harris and Stephen Garcia, dear reader, though G.J. Kinne appears to be attempting to play in just about every game), the East-West fields a roster that should be largely familiar to most fans, and the Senior Bowl is a legit college all-star game. Albeit one without juniors.
The Mobile classic includes Russell Wilson, Kellen Moore, Devon Still, Courtney Upshaw, Quinton Coples, Kendall Wright and Joe Adams already, with full rosters soon to be announced.
