I live in the Midwest. With every change of season, I think, “Yes, this is the most wonderful time of the year.” And I’ll believe it until the next change comes.
Last weekend, I woke up last Saturday morning to a bit of a chill in the air. And when I turned on the TV, I was greeted with pre-game football fun. Yes, this is definitely one of the best times of the years. A new season stretches out before us with both NCAA and NFL football. Bring it on!
The college boys are my favorite, and last weekend was a treat. Actual competitive games that mattered. And were close. And fun to watch. TCU and Oregon State. LSU and UNC (less a few players). Boise State and Virginia Tech. Even Mizzou and Illinois was more competitive than I expected.
This coming weekend holds promise for a great Saturday of college football, as well. Penn State at Alabama. Miami at Ohio State. Michigan and Notre Dame — a game that I’m bummed someone has to win. Yes, it should be fun.
And in between, we have the kickoff of the NFL season with what has been (so far) a pretty entertaining game between the Saints and the Vikings. Minnesota, congrats on supporting the only team that can legitimately call their QB “Gramps.” And the best part in my world is being able to flip between this opener and a great Auburn at Mississippi State game.
Fall. Football. Definitely a wonderful time of the year.
