And with fall, comes football

My favorite time of the year – fall.  The best flyfishing of the year, partridge season, deer season, AND FOOTBALL!  This weekend is the start of the high school and college football seasons, with several local high schools in action.  Mount Anthony goes to Fair Haven on Friday night.  With a new coach and a new offense, they should be fun to watch.  Schuylerville goes to Cambridge on Saturday.  Schuylerville looks tough this year, with a veteran team.  Cambridge, led by Shea Bromirski at QB, is young, but has looked good in scrimmages.  My money is on Cambridge, and that’s not just because Shea is my nephew.  This team will surprise this year - very well coached and a great tradition.  Hoosick Falls plays Lake George – the Panthers lost a lot from last year, but they seem to be in a reloading, not a rebuilding mode right now.  I’m going with Hoosick Falls.

 The biggest game of the weekend?  The Cambridge Youth Flag Football game against Stillwater on Saturday.  That’s one of the players on the left.  He’s got number 31 – that was the number of Paul Posluszny, one of the greatest linebackers to ever wear a Penn State uniform.

 Now, what about the big boys?  As a Penn State graduate, I admit it, I drink the blue and white kool aid.  With this in mind, Penn State will beat Florida International by 40 this weekend and go on to win the Big Ten title. They may even play LSU for the national championship (I think USC loses a game this year).  Then again, they may lose to Michigan and Wisconsin and end up playing in the Outback Bowl again. 

 In other area news, MAUHS boys soccer is off to a good start with a victory over Fair Haven, and the field hockey team beat Springfield to start the season.  Girls soccer starts tonight.  Enjoy the weekend! Did I say football is starting?

Wow a Big Ten, SEC matchup for the national championship. Sorry Mark, if it comes to that I'll be pulling for LSU. They crushed my alma mater in the season opener.
