I shot some video and stuff at a high school football camp today. What? Football in June, you say? Yep. Ten teams from across Oklahoma participated in this particular 3-day camp.
And those guys were hittin' hard. It looked like fun.
I guess if you haven't played since December (especially if you didn't make it to the playoffs) you feel like knockin' a dude's head off, especially if he's wearin' a different color jersey.
Wish I could say I remember those days, but I don't. I mean I did wear a uniform on Friday nights, but it was a band uniform. PAUSE FOR LAUGHTER...
But I had fun nonetheless--absolutely. Friday nights were a blast, man. High school football games were, and still are, a huge social event. See and be seen. And PERFORM, man!
I remember I used to drive to all the home games with my friend Duane. We always needed some McDonald's grub before the game, but he hated being seen in his band uniform. HOWEVER, I thought my drum major uniform was MUCH COOLER, so we always WENT IN instead of the drive-thru. He hated that. Good times.
And I still have fun at football games, only these days I carry a camera. I still get to "perform" in a sense, shooting video and interviews for News9.com. And I present it from a fan's point of view. That's really the only way I CAN do it, since I'm not really a sportscaster or anything like that. I just try to show you what it was like to be there.
And I don't do it with a goofy uniform on.
Here's a sampling...till the season starts.
