I was wondering has anybody been reading the headlines?

They are saying “end of the season” and “last day of regular season,” and they all are referencing football.

I mean. The season just started a couple of days ago. Now, North Delta is playing in the playoffs tonight. North Panola is playing its last regular season game tonight, honoring seniors. South Panola has one more left.

Madison Central’s Bobby Hall has announced his retirement at the end of the year and stuff like that.

On top of all that, high  school basketball is around the corner.

With the way the seasons have to fit in the school year, basketball gets shafted for about a month until state championships are played.

The thing is that we have waited so long for the football season to finally get here and it seems like playoffs came so fast.

I was just wondering if anyone else was feeling the same way.

Unlike the other sports, football only has 10-12 regular season games. Other sports double and even triple that in some instances so we never really get our fill of football.

The season to the fans at least does not seem “long” even though it does span three months.
That’s the shortest three months we live through. With playoffs and bowl games, the season gets expanded to four months. Taken all together from preseason NFL to high school, college, state championships, national championships and Super Bowl that takes up about six months, but it is so sporadic that it does not feel that way.

Well, I guess as time moves forward, we have to put up with the end of the football season each year as it gradually winds down.

Just a random thought that blew through my mind.
