Friday Night Lights.....High School Football

[Bill G]

I see conversations and threads about college and pro ball but very, very, very, few every make it to that level. I think is high time we had a thread about the roots of the game that many of us can relate to. This is week #1 for Illinois High School Football and I am betting it is the same for most states. My team was up 38-0 at the half and now 45-0 with a lighting delay.

I guess no one ever played or watched/watch their kids/grandkids play

tis the season in my neck of the woods, not sure where the local team stands yet, but I do on ocassion stop and watch a bit of the games.

I just drop my kid off at games and pay the entry fee, does that count?

I am amazed at how many folks argue and fight about college/pro ball but forget where real football starts.

I guess I just care about kiddos and not about the money hungry players AND owners.

It's a little different in this household, but these three are mine:

Two of our sons tried Band but it just did not work for them. That does mean there is anything wrong with Band whatsoever! One of my friends in school was a hell of a drummer. We ended up going to the same college and he had a band scholarship there. When I was in school there were boys on the football team that were also in Band. At halftime they took their helmet off and picked up their instrument to join the band on the field.

Our local team is #4 in the state right now but tonight will be a huge challenge.

For all that are stuck in college ball a local kid got a helluva good reception today in his college game to pound the chit out of Duke.
