FOOTBALL!!!!!!!

Can I just say, Dude, that I LOVE football! I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!!! Any kind of football. . . the little tikes whose helmets are bigger than they are, the bigger tikes who start to actually look like a team [but not really =], the middle/high school tikes who live it day in, day out, and the ultimate football: college football. There is nothing better about college than the atmosphere at a college football game. And I'm so glad they play football in the fall . . . It is during this time that the weather turns cold and crisp, and if you forget your jacket or a sweatshirt, Dude, you are s.o.l. The leaves turn their colors, the days get shorter, and you start to see your breath. I absolutely love it!

I attended almost all of the college football games @ Averageville University when I was a student, and I can tell you that I've seen just about every weather possible. I've been to games so bright and hot that my face blistered. I've been to games where it snowed so much the players [and fans -- after we stormed the field] made snow angels to celebrate a much anticipated win. I've been to games so cold you huddled with complete strangers for warmth -- and had absolutely no problem with it. I've seen rain, sleet, sunshine, and snow. . . and loved every minute of it.

Tonight is our high school's biggest-rival-football-game. I'll come prepared with a love of the game, a voice to whoop and holler, and of course, Dude, my coat.
