Too hot for football season
Arthur McLean
Well football season is here again at last and I guess you could say that I'm pretty excited about that.

There's just one small problem. It's hotter than a stolen pistol out there folks.

We've got temperatures in the high nineties and young men are trying to practice in full pads in that.

Maybe it'll make 'em tougher. It surely should make them meaner.

Why, Monday of this week, we were taking all those pictures you see in the yearbook and football program and other places, and it was so hot, there were plenty of us non-football players who were feeling pretty mean and aggressive after a few hours in the pounding sun.

The Tigers get their preseason game in against usual preseason foe Demopolis and the prediction is that it will be very hot and very humid.

Sweet Water is traveling to Maplesville and the forecast for that game is very hot and very humid.

Now, very hot and very humid is an understatement. In fact, I'd be willing to bet the fellow from Finland who invented the sauna went to his grave disappointed that it was a pale comparison to late August in Alabama.

But don't worry football fans; it will go from being uncomfortably hot and humid to too cool for comfort right about the eighth game of the season.

And with global warming and all that, I reckon we won't even have uncomfortably cool weather for football season in a few years.

Well, even though it's hot hot hot and you're sweating buckets under the Friday night lights, it's all forgiven once the pigskin starts to fly.

I'll see you on the sidelines soon.
