Hello Football Season!!!

Fall is my absolute favorite season of all. I love the colors, the smells, the crisp, cool weather - and the beginning of college football season!!! To be specific, I love watching my Alma Mater - the Kansas State Wildcats - on the field. To make this season even better, we have our all-time favorite coach back at the helm this year. Don't get me wrong, I know he can't perform miracles and we're not going to be better overnight, but I think he brings something back to our program that has been missing for a while now. A strong work ethic, proven success, and RESPECT. He has respect for the University, himself, the fans, and the players and he reaps just as much in return. We've got win #1 under our belts already and are looking for #2 and some conference wins this year too. My only wish for this season is that we could get up to a game at some point, but it doesn't look like that is likely. I miss the days of being a season ticket holder and traveling to Manhattan several weekends during the fall. I miss the atmosphere of the stadium and the excitement that just crackles through the crowds. I am waiting for the day, a few years down the road, when we can introduce our kids to something that meant so much to us in our college days and share that excitement with them! Until then, I'll be sitting in my living room every Saturday afternoon from September to November and cheering on my Cats! :)
