IT HAS RECENTLY COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE READ SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I WRITE ON THIS BLOG OF MINE. I HAD NO IDEA. BUT NOW THAT I KNOW THAT I HAVE AN AUDIENCE I GUESS I SHOULD ACTUALLY WRITE SOME THINGS OF SUBSTANCE.AS THE END OF SUMMER DRAWS CLOSER...THE SCHOOL YEAR SNEAKS UP BEHIND US READY TO STRIKE. HOWEVER, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN QUITE A FEW YEARS I AM SUPER EXCITED FOR FALL. WHY? YOU MIGHT ASK. IT ISN'T THE FALL COLORS, ALTHOUGH THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE. THE ANSWER FOR ME IS VERY CLEAR...FOOTBALL!
NOT ONLY IS IT TIME FOR THE COUGARS TO SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS AND COME OUT TO SHOW THE NATION WHY THEY ARE RANKED IN THE TOP 20 AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, BUT OHS FOOTBALL IS KICKING OFF AS WELL. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD TO COMPARE WITH FRIDAY NIGHTS ON THE BLEACHERS OF A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL WATCHING KIDS, THAT YOU ACTUALLY KNOW, HIT EACH OTHER IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL BATTLES FOR DOMINANCE ON A WELL-LIT FIELD. THE SMELL OF THE GRASS, THE YELLING OF ANGRY MOTHERS AND COACHES, THE HOT COCOA, THE OVERLY ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERLEADERS, AND THE PAINTED FACES. THERE'S NOTHING BETTER.
