The older I get (I'm now 24), the more I enjoy football. I remember last year I spent almost every Thursday evening watching middle school football games. I caught several Varsity games on Fridays, when I was not in class. I was shocked, however, when I went to a Division 2 college game and realized I had been great football. At the college game, everyone was faster, passes were abundant and accurate, and everyone looked bigger (because they weren't 8th graders). I treasured the three hour escape from reality.
Now, as football seasons cranks up once more, I feel a fresh rejuvenation deep within. ESPN radio has shifted away from the drone of baseball and into the excitement of the pigskin. Life is good. I'm looking forward to many more football games, and I hope the badgers survive district enough to make the playoffs. Here's hoping for a great season of High School, but also a chance to watch some good college ball.
