Snow covering rolling hills. Flowers blooming in green fields. Sun shining brightly on sand. Leaves falling from maple trees.
Winter. Spring. Summer. Fall. What’s your favorite time of the year?
Mine lasts longer than those… starting the first weekend in September and ending right around 11 p.m. on the second Monday in January. Just thinking about it brings back so much.
Vivid memories of my younger years. The Big Shootout. Whoa Nellie. Woody vs. Bo.
My first career. Pony Express. Liberty Bowls. Midnight Yell Practice.
Wonderful moments. The Play. Hail Flutie. VY in the Rose Bowl (twice).
Today officially begins a new college football season… my 54th as a diehard fan.
There used to be one game broadcast each week – and a team could only be televised a few times each year. Now there are games on most every night Wednesday through Saturday… and sometimes, following three hours of College Game Day, I have three TV’s going plus a couple more clashes streaming on my iPad and iPhone.
Unless of course, I’m in the stadium. Which is where I’ll be at exactly 3:30 p.m. CDT today… following our regular tailgate meal. Look for me. I’m in burnt orange.
