I realized recently that I probably watch 3 times the amount of TV during the 5 months from September to January as I do during the 7 months from February to August.
Football on Saturday. Football on Sunday. Football on Monday. Football, football, football!
I don't know why I love football so much. I remember how disappointed I was when I realized that I would never play high school football - a decision that I made myself for the sake of self-preservation.
These days I half-wish I had made our team as a kicker, punter, tackling dummy or something. If I had I would have a TAPPS 3A state championship ring in my sock drawer right now.
Every year, the first week of September brings a new meaning to my life - I know, pathetic, isn't it?
But I can't help in getting caught up in the hype - there's football everywhere! A nationally ranked high school team just down the street. My newly adopted favorite college team only 10,000 miles away on the west coast (Go Bears!). And tonight, Cowboys versus Giants!
I love this time of year!
(And I really love that Michigan is already 0-2!)

Don't forget the horns. Hook 'Em!
I love this time of year too!
While watching the Cowboys last night, I thought "wade is probably loving this game!"
I get giddy with football! Go CHARGERS! (not a typo I love the Chargers more than the Cowboys)

Hey J,
That's right - you're a big UT fan. I had forgotten that about you!
I have to admit that I giggled for a moment when TCU picked off McCoy for a TD. I love me some upsets!
But for your sake I'll root for the Longhorns - they're gonna need all the help they can get come UT-OU weekend!!

Hey Suz,
Crazy you said that because I thought of you and Jeff when LT threw that TD pass!
Next week against the Pats and Randy Moss should be pretty interesting - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Thanks for stopping by,

Hey, Wade! I found your blog through Jennifer's, and I just have to say that I'm equally "pathetic" when it comes to football!
I teach school, and I always have a hard time letting go of summer freedom and getting back to the grind. Football eases a lot of that pain! There's just nothing like a fall Saturday spent in a stadium!
And no, I can't believe Michigan is 0-2!
Hook 'em!
Hey See-Dub,
Great to meet you!
It's funny how you describe football as easing your pain - it's known more for causeing pain, both literally and figuratively!
But I can understand what you mean! If you can find something to "take the edge off" then more power to you!
Thanks for stopping by,
W
Best time of the Year. And we looooove College Football!
GO BEARS!!!!!
