Into Fall and Football

For those of you not paying any attention to the calendar, the month of October ended yesterday; although, it's hard to believe that anyone was not aware that HALLOWEEN ended the month...

While October represented, for the most part, above normal temperatures, the month is still one of moderate warmth.

It is usually the month of November where the temperatures begin their gradual ride downwards.  That is to say, they fluctuate between 50 and 60 degrees.  When this happens, we are experiencing typical fall weather.  The kind of weather that is DAMN NEAR PERFECT to sit in a stadium and watch football games.

However, the temperatures are a little bit high for the players, as they probably prefer temperatures that fluctuate between 40 and 50 degrees.  If the temperatures drop down between 30 and 40, then the players not running will get cold, and the quarterbacks don't always function at their best...  although, some do because they like the cold.

Personally, I don't like sitting in a stadium seat watching a football game, even if I am not cold and it is not windy because, the seat after 30 minutes hurts my butt.  If I have a stadium cushion, the pain does not start until after 50 minutes or so.  In addition to a sore butt, my back does not like sitting upright unless it has something to lean against.

So, if I am going to watch any kind of football game, it is going to be in my living room, while I am sitting on the couch.  I also don't like using the toilets in a stadium, nor do I like sitting so close to strangers, many of whom like to get drunk before the game is over.
