Sports and Weather

Good morning everyone. It is finally the weekend, and finally a game day. Football games are probably one of the more fun things that goes on during college. I could not imagine going to a school without sports or fans that support it. Just waking up on a Saturday morning and seeing all the motor homes parked around campus, everyone wearing red, and hearing the band play is what makes a part of college so great. I guess I have always been into sports. Not so much playing, because honestly I am not very athletic, but watching I think is so much fun. It most likely started in high school because I was on the cheer squad. Therefore I was forced to go to every game, home and away. I learned a lot from just watching, and since then I have come to love watching sports, even on TV. I think college basketball is my favorite though. College football is fun, but sometimes the four hours it takes to go through one game can be a bit long. It also sucks having to stand up during the entire game. I think that is pretty bad when you have to be packed like sardines in hot sweaty weather with hundreds of drunk people around you. I usually tend to sneak off to a different area where I can at least sit down. That is the one good thing about basketball. I have always had regular tickets so I never have had to sit in the student section. I never understood what the point of standing up the entire time is. My legs get way too tired, and I just find it pointless. I think it is because the front row stands then from there every other row is forced to stand also. Maybe one day I should ask the front row to sit, so then everyone else will too. So anyways, I am pretty excited for the game today. We have had so many away games that I almost forgot it was football season. It is too bad it is going to be really hot out though. It is the middle of October, shouldn't it be getting cooler by now? I think every year it gets to be warmer and warmer later on in the year. Eventually the summers will be so hot no one will be able to go outside and winter will become our summer. I have to admit though, I do not really care for cold weather. Last semester I had an 8 AM and it was horrible having to get up when it is dark outside and walk completely across campus at 730 in the morning. I was always the weird girl who wore a snow jacket when it is 60 degrees. I think I get cold anywhere below 80 degrees. I think that is because I have lived in Phoenix my whole life. And I also think Tucson gets colder than Phoenix does. I mean that ten degree drop really makes a difference. I think around 85 is perfect.
