The 25th year in a row high school sports participation has increased to almost 8 million youngsters. My own personal opinion is every student should be required to do some sort of extra curricular activity. Students who are active take more interest in school.
If the early returns hold during the upcoming NC State North Carolina football game the loser will probably score 60 points. Neither team has shown any interest in defense but both can put points on the board.
During my trip last week to Long Beach the day after we were on the Price Is Right we took an all day tour of LA/ Beverly Hills etc and one of our stops on the tour was the LA Coliseum.
Having only watch football games from the coliseum on TV our tour guide pointed out that the stadium was built for the 1932 Olympics and the field was built for track and field not football. Even though it will hold more than 100,000 the end zone seats are more than 50 yards from the field at both ends.
I knew one reason the NFL if it ever returns to LA will wants a stadium that can be at full capacity and all the seat can view all the field. After seeing it in person for the first time it is not a very good place to watch football.
Thursday night when the NFL season started we had dinner and we arrived in our room just after 8pm and I said to myself "oh good the NFL game is just starting". Turn on the TV only to find out the game had five minutes left to go. I forgot the game started at 5 in California.
