I Can't Get Into Fantasy

I have a real hard time even thinking about joining a fantasy league.  Football whether it's college or Pro is perfect where you have all week to think about your picks.  I have never been in a fantasy league and hope I never will.

First off I want to concentrate on my favorite teams. College that would be N C State and in the Pro's San Diego and the Panthers.  I can tell you if Philip Rivers was not on the Chargers I would be wrapped up as an Panther fan.  Having grown up in Eastern North Carolina  if the Panthers didn't exist I would be gung ho Redskins. 

Living in Ahoskie back in the 60's we got the Redskins every Sunday at 1.00pm on the Norfolk station  and another Norfolk station carried the Colts at 2.00pm.  I would watch all the Skins games and catch Johnny Unitas lead the Colts to a come back in the 4th quarter.  I grew up on Sonny Jergenson and Johnny Unitus.  I guess I'm just and old timer and would have too hard a time pulling for a wide receiver to score a touchdown against the Chargers or Panthers just so I could win a fantasy game.

Well let's see if we can figure out the high school football schedule this weekend and beyond.  Tarboro High school is in such a mess that their game with Northern Nash has been moved to September 23rd.  Tonight Southern Nash host Bunn.  A game that will have every one's attention is the SouthWest Edgecombe at Hunt game.  This will let everyone see how close Hunt and Southern Nash are as the Firebirds hosted SWE just  a couple of weeks ago. Nash Central will host Roanoke Rapids Saturday night and Rocky Mount travels to Hertford County.
