Documenting my travels and thoughts from around the country
2024 Week 7 (Montana & Wyoming)
What a weekend of football it turned out to be. I was in Montana, with the prospect of another Saturday afternoon in the central part of the state. Or, I could go far east or south into Wyoming. Eastern Montana had just a couple afternoon games. While Midwest, Wyoming was hosting a Saturday night homecoming game. And I chose that. And did I pick a great one.

2024 Week 6 (Montana)
For a second straight weekend, I was in the great state of Montana. Central Montana to be precise. Seeing new places, I was running out of options. My Saturday was determined by the lone afternoon game anywhere west of the North Dakota state line. Though Wibaux, Savage, Richey/Lambert and Froid/Medicine Lake all had games.

2024 Week 5 (Montana)
Week 5 was a slow week for games. There wasn’t a lot of options in central Montana. So, Thursdays were out. And a second game on Saturday was unlikely as well. Had I been in eastern Montana, I could have maybe seen another game. But, bouncing around Central Montana has its perks.

2024 Week 4 (Nebraska & Colorado)
I knew I would be in Nebraska for Friday night. But my Thursday and Saturday options were up in the air. Nebraska had a surprising number of available games to choose from for Thursday. But nothing on Saturday.
2024 Week 3 (Ohio & Pennsylvania)
2024 Week 2 (New Jersey)
Another trip east to New Jersey. My third straight year going to the Battle at the Beach in Ocean City. Though, this year had some changes. Because the New Jersey schedule started on Labor Day weekend, the games could not all be played at Ocean City. Friday and Saturday would be moved. But it was still worth it.

2024 Week 1 (Tennessee & Kentucky)
2024 Georgia (Week 0)
2023 Week 17 (Texas)
My 2023 season ended in Texas as it has done quite a few times in the past. The first, though, since the fall 2021 season. In 2022, I passed on Texas in exchange for two games on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A mix of work and pleasure. However, for Texas it was a fun drive down to Arlington, Texas.

2023 Week 16 (Pennsylvania)
Week sixteen was another trip to the Pennsylvania state finals. For the second year, they were being held in Mechanicsburg on the west side of the state capital, Harrisburg.
Cumberland Valley High School’s Chapman Field was the host. And though it feels like the stadium lacks the gravitas of some other state finals, it’s more than adequate for the crowds Pennsylvania gets when their games are on quasi-free television via PCN across the state.
