The Smell Of Football

[LHPfactory]

I have been taking my boys to the football field here in LH this week getting them ready for pop warner. And there is something about summer, fresh cut grass, and the wind blowing from goal post to goal post. The smell brings back powerful memories of football when I was a youth. I know for some its the sound of the band and smell of frito pie and nachos during the season, but for me its the heat and that smell of fresh cut turf, man I cant wait till August.

To me the memory is when I go into a fieldhouse to interview a coach..it is that pungent nasty smell of sweaty equipment that brings back all my memories of playing..It stinks..but in a good way

The smell of football to me......would be the way the air smells early early in the morning mixed with the cool air at 6am getting ready for two a days. Along with the smell of new cleats and plastic. Also the smell of cheap laundry detergent that they used to clean your grays every day. Yeah after a while there was a 'stink'.....but to be honest.....you get used to it.

Nothing quite like the smell of sweat and blood mixed together. I sure am going to miss it when it's over, but I'm going to be honest when I say that I'm not looking forward to Two-A-Days this Fall if our summer workouts are indicative of what we're going to be doing then.

I always remember the pep rallies on friday afternoons. What a great way to let off steam! Man, I'm really hoping to get to a game this year....Can't wait for the season to start.
