I've enjoyed reading all the posts from down your way this offseason. Great opening salvo! Right now everybody is one big happy family. Folks are complimenting each other's teams, wishing everyone good luck, and acting like football is just one big fellowship. Even Oscar the Grouch has managed to say a few nice things about everything going on...well...except for gauntlet conferences and Reidsville.
But don't worry. The season is almost here.
By November, the annual Message Board Excuse Generator will be running at full capacity.
We'll start seeing:
- "We would've beaten y'all by three touchdowns."
- "Your conference is weak."
- "If we played your schedule, we'd be undefeated too."
- "We lost our running back."
- "We lost our quarterback."
- "We lost our 260-pound All-World defensive tackle."
- "We lost an assistant coach."
- "We lost the water boy."
- "The referees..."
- "We're peaking at the right time."
- "We're finally playing like a team."
- "Just wait until next year."
It's amazing how every November there are 100 teams that would've won the state championship if only one or two things had gone differently.
Meanwhile, somebody actually has to line up, block, tackle, catch, run, and win six straight playoff games.
That's the funny thing about football. The message boards crown dozens of champions every year. The scoreboard only crowns one.
