True callings must not be ignored
Eric Burney
It's once again that time of year.
Wf inevitable, I suppose. These
tangos with familiarity tend to take
place with the passage of time.
The familiarity I'm referring to is
school, herds of people everywhere,
this Kwky yet beautiful weather,
general hysteria...football, football,
more football...
But what's football got to do with the
scenario IVe created? Huh?? ..
OrUy^yerything, at least to millions
of die-hards like myself who find
themselves craving some grid action
no* sooner than four days after the
multitudes of bowl games (playoffs
and Super Bowl included) which
invade our living rooms in December
and January.
j Life is difficult enough, only to
become more nightmarish in the eight
months ahead.
Basketball is great. So is baseball,
though the season's much too long.
The summer drags lethargically. No
one needs that much relaxation.
This is why we begin to squirm in
August.
The first giant thrust into a new
season begins with the pre-pre-season
hype in the form of college and
professional football "yearbooks."
They're a bit expensive, but necessary,
and they contain more raw info than
anyone will ever be able to digest.
• We really dig stats and stories — It
makes us feel like experts.
Long about mid-August, televised
pre-season games hit the airwaves and
we're in hog heaven. It doesn't matter
that you'll -never see 70 percent of
these players once the regular season
begins and that you'll forget the final
scores immediately; it's still football.
A void has been filled for the time
being. Happiness prevails.
The high begins to wane ever so
slightly right about now. but it's still
there. Our heads have been captured
by such trivial matters as class, jobs
and various other activities.
This is unfortunate...but not
hopeless.
