Kind of bittersweet knowing football season will be over in about six weeks

7spots


When I was a younger man, I went to visit a dear friend, that despite having no familial relationship, I have always referred to as my "Uncle Bob". He had recently moved from my hometown, back to where he had lived originally, a small town in Massachusetts called Pittsfield. The very first day upon my visit he took me to the batting cages in neighboring town Lenox. Rumor was, they had machines that had been tweaked to pitch almost 80 miles per hour. Despite the fact that the "60 mph" cage said practice at your own risk and helmet required, he put me in there with the confidence of a man who had passed this test himself a hundred times with his eyes closed. Pitch after pitch, I swung and miss. The pitches were coming and they were coming fast. As I stepped out of the batting cage to insert another quarter, a much older man walked up and asked if he could give me one suggestion. I remember laughing when he shared with me his wisdom. Before I even stepped back into the cage and as I dropped my quarter he said... "Swing now."

I share this drunken story because my emotions are similar regarding this Clemson football season. I'm elated to be on this trip. But honestly, I can't believe the football season has already started again and before we know it, we will be a quarter of the way through it. It seems like they are coming faster and faster every year. It's been a good season so far and there is no real way to know how it will end. We might strike out, we might foul tip a few, or we may knock the crap out of it. But with them flying by, my only advice for those that want to enjoy football this year is... "Swing now."


Apologies for not knowing the difference between baseball and football. But I've been drinking! (High wind advisory style.)
