Can you feel it? That is the new GAA season clattering into our lives like mud-splattered bat out of hell.
It is only January so nobody is getting carried away but supporters are just happy to have something to fill that gap in their Sunday afternoons and players are probably happy to have something to train for - even if it is 60 minutes of half-paced football against a second string college team.
It is not often Tyrone are winless for a season, Leitrim have a 100 percent record and Laois are the dual kings, so let us savour a flavour of the reaction from around the country to that opening weekend.
