I love October; It's a sports fan's dream

October 1, 2009

Welcome, October.
This is the first day of my favorite month of the year.

October is the only month in which you can watch all four major professional sports.
The NHL has begun.
The baseball playoffs begin next week.
The NFL is in full swing.
The NBA begins on the 27th with Shaq making his debut as a Cleveland Cavalier in Boston.
Then on Oct. 30, the Mavericks open at home against the Lakers.

We will soon have what we Texans call "football weather."
You will have to wear a coat to the games on Friday night.

And, of course, it's State Fair time.
That means Texas vs. OU in the Cotton Bowl on Oct. 17.

College basketball teams start practice on Oct. 15.

And it all ends with Halloween.
A stress-free holiday where you don't have to have a family reunion.
This year Halloween falls on Saturday.
How cool is that?
