football obsessions

it's great.

there are these kids out there that i yearn for. i mean not in some sort of sexual way--you watch too much law & order svu.

i mean i yearn for in a football kind of way. high school football players. big. fast. big & fast. athletic. willing to sacrifice their bodies. what for? so i can watch them on tv--or if i am lucky, in person.

you see, kansas state football sucked for a very long time. in fact, before bill snyder came around, they were the worst football team of all time, according to sports illustrated. now, though, they are pretty good. they win alot. go to bowls every year.

and from that success came my obsession.

the next generation of football heroes, waiting to happen.

oh, and it is not just me. there are many grown men who love and adore high school football players.

you should see some of the ways that my friends talk about these players! it's almost a sickness.

kansas state football already has nine fine young men that have committed to signing with them on signing day. what's signing day? i'll explain all that later, if anyone really wants to know, or doesn't know.

but this spot is where i obsess. where i talk about my hopes. where i labor over the intimate details of the high school athletes k-state is recruiting.

if you want to follow along, feel free. it really is a drama. a soap. an obsession.
