Trick or Treat
For the first time in, oh, say a few years, I will not be participating in the Halloween festivities. Thanks to October's timing, there will be no scaring of children. Instead, I have to work a football game. What is slightly disappointing is the fact that Halloween has almost become legendary with the way we decorate/scare people. Even the local grocery store owner said something to me about saving dry ice for me. Shoot. But make no mistake about it, I'm happy I'm calling a game. (plus calling a game equals cash money and that's good for a broke-ass college student) It's a playoff game between my high school that I gradumicated from back in the day and another school. To sum it up best with this game "Win and keep playing."If the Swathers win, (yes, that is my high school mascot, no kidding) they would play a game on Saturday night. I'm torn by this because thanks to the Kansas playoff system, I wouldn't get to call it. For me, basketball starts at HC and they broadcast the home games via Teamline. Teamline is a feed that allows people to listen via a toll free phone call or over a high speed internet connection. Technically, we'll be broadcasting to the world. So thanks to the home opener of both men's and women's hoops, I don't get to call the playoff game.
It's a balmy 27 degrees this morning. Of course, I believe that it's a conspiracy to make it cold this week rather than during the weekend. Yes. Can you believe that I mentioned the weekend again? It's not on my mind much. I suppose Friday it will be on my mind in the form of every other thought.
Good Lord, I'm a geek. Bring on the Day!
And I really think Opening Weekend should be a National Holiday.
