re: Have to love August

Just checked the NWS forecast. 10 days of 100 plus are in store for the Shreveport area. Bookended by several 99’s. It’s gonna be our hottest and driest stretch of the year. I sure wish my sons school had an indoor practice facility. Football practice is going to be 6:30-8:30 because of the heat rules.
Funny how times change, I played a little football in the 80’s. Seems like we practiced every afternoon during the summer and directly after school everyday. Hell, in Jr High we didn’t have a water cooler. When the coaches said water break, we raced to a faucet that stuck out of the side of the building.
Pushed and shoved and fought our way to gulp as much as we could then went back to the field.
Of course, the school didn’t have A/C. So our bodies were acclimated differently than kids today.
And school didn’t start until September. Crazy that they start August 11th now.

August breeds posts like OP

I always joke about this time of year. I have a sickness but I’ve heard about 10 sec reporter practice reports after week 1 and every single one is nothing but how amazing the returning players look and how they’re bigger and faster and this could be the best freshman class ever

It’s 100% Kool-Aid from all of them. I’ve yet to hear anyone say “_____ looks like shite and unimpressive”

Every single year. Everyone is undefeated and this could be the year

Let’s not act like September isn’t just as hot as August. It doesn’t cool down until Halloween
