Football Friday Approaches

This is always a huge week for all of us at the radio station. It's the first Football Friday! Now some of us got a taste of the first football on a steamy Saturday afternoon in Manhattan...a great Tailgate with really good football from the Cats; a great start. But there's something about that first Football Friday. It's been a weird move toward this game; for the first time in many years I am not coaching Middle School Bengal Football; and although I have had my fair share of withdrawals the past few weeks and am really wondering what game day tomorrow will be like with no game to prepare for...the chance to be with my family and even get a little extra golf in has proven invaluable.
Now; onto the first Football Friday of the year. As exciting as it is each year; it takes on a whole new feel this year with a senior in our home; a senior who by the way is one of the team's captains and will start at cornerback and wide receiver (hey a Dad's gotta brag on such an awesome kid).
The KCLY Grid Iron Gang; Randy 'Chet' Carlson and Phil 'Flip' Kasper will join me in the booth to call the games. I'm really ready to fire off that first, "Touchdown Tigers--Touchdown Clay Center Tigers!"
Wherever your games lead you this weekend; have fun and be safe...and yell loud!!
