Yes, my friends, it is one of the most exciting times of year. The days are getting shorter, the air is getting cooler, and school is starting up again. That can only mean one thing--football is right around the corner. And by right around the corner I mean this coming Saturday! The long drought of good sports on television (minus the Olympics, of course) is finally at an end. What's that you say? Baseball was going on all summer long? It's still going? Thanks for proving my point.
Back to football. I grew up watching (college) football games on TV with my dad. I was taught at an early age to love all things BYU. I don't recall exactly when I started watching and enjoying football, but I know that it was at least as early as the Ty Detmer years (circa 1989), because I remember how excited I was to get his autograph at one time. Unfortunately, it was on a little scrap of paper that quickly found its way into the dark abyss of inconveniently lost items to go along with single socks, keys, and marbles. That didn't deter me, however, as I have grown to love football even more with each passing year (don't tell Michelle...she might get jealous).
Thus, even though being back in school is definitely NOT the most exciting thing to happen in the fall, football more than makes up for it. It's what gets me through each week, knowing that at least there will be more football to watch. Some might say that I obsess about it a bit too much, that I expend way too much energy on my fanaticism. They would be right. But hey, everyone needs a hobby, right? I'll leave you with this video clip and say, "Happy Football Season!"
