The scariest date for your girl to have in October is not the 31st because of Halloween.
…….It is October 1st
The reason is that unless you are just into going out and making out with your girl which everybody needs a little break (just ask her). October is like a “Sport Haven” month for guys. There are so many games that are played six days a week and all of them are usually on a cable station that anybody can pick up. It is like Madden Season but without a Playstation or a Auto Show that is running for one month. You cannot get a guy to get up off the couch in October unless he is going to the game which makes it worst. I can sum it up all in one.
The MLB Playoffs- Any old school person knows that baseball really dreads between opening day and the playoff push. But once the playoffs start, anything goes. From walk off homers to something strange that always happens to put your team out of the playoffs. Any sport fanatic can tell you where they were when Reggie Jackson got his name Mr. October, when old Buckner misplacing the ball at first on a Mookie Wilson dribbler, when Kirk Gibson doing that “yes, yes, yes” arm pump, when Kirby Puckett hitting that game winner and Jack Buck saying “We’ll see you tomorrow night,” to Steve Bartman messing up Moises Alou catch for the clincher and Florida ended up winning the NLCS and the World Series, and when Jack Buck’s son Joe was channeling his dad respectively in Game 4 with “Ortiz into deep right field. Back is Sheffield!
We'll see ya later tonight!” And in Game 5 when Damon was rounding third after Ortiz hit with “Ortiz fights it off, center field! Damon running to the plate and he can keep on running to New York. Game 6 tomorrow night.” Oh yeah and that bloody sock that Curt Schilling in Game 6 (Sorry, the 2004 ALCS is still to me the best championship game I have seen in my life). Anyway the playoff is memorable as a kid and can be with you until you are an adult.
College Football – October is filled with great college football games. Other than that usual homecoming at your college you go to reminisce with your friends about how you all got drunk and did mischievous things, the college football games in October are epic and last from Wednesday to Saturday. There is the Red River Shootout in Dallas between Texas and Oklahoma which anybody and everybody that live north of Austin and South of Norman go to. Then you have the World Largest Cocktail Party between Georgia and Florida. That rivalry is the ending of the October weekend or usually the start of November weekend. Then there is the Third Saturday in October (You heard it right!) between Alabama and UT. October is also the home of Wide Right II and Wide Left for all those Florida State- Miami fans and those USC- Norte Dame classics in South Bend (…and boy, there are many.) HBCUs have so many classics in October; it is hard to keep up.
The mid-hype of the NFL season- This is where the NFL starts kicking in to gear. Some of the most memorable games have come from October in the NFL. To your favorite team this is your make or break peek month because November is too quick and December you already know where your team stand. October is also home to the infamous “Sharpie Pen” from Terrell Owens to Drew Rosenhaus.
Basketball season starts- October is pre-season and the start of Basketball season. If your team sucks in football, and your team did not make the playoffs in baseball, there is the savior in basketball because your team might do something good to start off. The off-season acquisitions, trades, new coaches, players making more money, need me say more.
Hockey season starts- For you people who really don’t like baseball, football, or basketball, there is hockey season. It is the same like basketball season but with more fighting and toothless guys. I forgot the mention the slapshots that scatter glass instantly are off the chain.
That is why October is the worst month to be with your girl if you are a sports fanatic. So if you have a girl around this make sure you have your “I’ll will pamper you” speech and roses ready because when November come, she is going to ware you out.
