I was sitting on the porch last night after work, and I could here the drum line. A late summer staple that I missed last year.

JWG, you are awesome for starting these threads each night.
I'm starting to really get excited. I can almost smell football.
August 18th, 2021 at 12:48 AM ^
… which is not quite as bad as smelling hockey!
August 18th, 2021 at 7:53 AM ^
as a long time hockey player and coach..... this couldn't be more true
August 18th, 2021 at 2:10 AM ^
Crazy Ivan will never steer you wrong!

Well, we were just 17, you know what JWG means....

Man for some reason the countdown right around this time seems to take waaaaay longer that it did when we were in the 80s or 70s. I'm excited for the season to start! Thank you again for doing this series.
