I admit that I am getting old.
I mean I can't really hide it from anyone.
I have always heard about this stage in my life and I feel like I was almost promised the benefits of it by several older friends.
Well I am here to say that I have not found many good things about the age cycle.
Lets start with friends. When I was younger, which basically means 40 or less, I never watched a Georgia game by myself. I was at a party or at a sports bar or had friends over, or at the very least, I was with my son and another friend of his and another dad.
Now it has fallen to me and my wife, and while she gives her best effort, its more like her working in the yard, cleaning, reading or sleeping, and then she throws in a "good play" or something about once a quarter.
She really doesn't watch guys.
My only satisfaction is the game itself.
As you all know my kids are gone from Macon, probably only to return on special holidays. I don't blame them and I am extremely proud of them. But where is the good in this. You raise them and you get to like them a little bit by the time they have grown up a bit and then when you finally get to that point they leave and all you get is a daily text and a phone call every once in awhile. Yeah these getting older years are a blast. I guess we are supposed to be thankful that we raised good kids and they don't want to be sitting on my door step, eating Cheetos in their underwear.
Then there is the memory factor. I see people and struggle with names, I lose my keys daily, as well as my debit card and sometimes I lose them pretty good. The other day I was almost leaving for work and I went for the last comb of my hair and I had white stuff in it. Closer examination showed that I was shampoo so evidently I had forgotten to rinse the hair out after I washed it. I guess I was a little more sleepy than I thought.
I miss the part of my younger days when I just didn't really give a crap about things. That's right I have become a sentimental lush in my old days. I decided to start selling things this weekend that had been in the house and now had been replaced in the house. The old fridge where so man spills inside had happened and that housed gallons and gallons of mile is now gone and I almost teared up as it drove away in a strangers car. The chest of drawers from one of the kids rooms is now gone and I couldn't help but remember when we moved those things into the room and almost tore down a wall doing it.
But now they are gone.
The old microwave is also gone, the one that I got as a wedding present from all my friends when microwaves were not in everyones house. It has worked all these years, fell out of the rotation to newer stuff but made it back in when that one broke. I mean that microwave has been with us for the long haul and if it could tell stories, it would not be a good thing. I mean did one of my kids really put one of my cats in it ??
No one will ever truly know.
But its gone for 10 bucks and I was sad about it.
My favorite restaurant in North Macon, La Bamba is now torn down. I loved that place because the food was got and the man had my order ready before I sat down. Sometimes I think he cooked it before I showed up because it was that fast. I am saddened that its not even a building anymore.
Old age brings fewer friends I mentioned that but heck, sometimes I uber just to be around people. Now its everyone above 40 that I take is my cohort and we talk about old age, while everyone younger just gets my worldy advice. I am sure they love that.
But what they get is me and I really don't know any other way to be. I am past the cool age to younger people for sure and I am sure they laugh as they get out of my car. I hate being the old person !!!!
I am also hating what the age thing has done to me as an athlete. Here is the deal, I was never great at anything, but I was extremely coordinated with good hand eye coordination. I could basically do athletic things easily. I hit homeruns in baseball, many of them, and I shot 80 on a golf course. I scored over 20 points in a basketball game and I ran 22 minute 5 k races. But my hands and my eyes and my knees and my, well everything else, has failed me, or maybe I failed them. Most of that ability is gone now.
Sure I can still talk the game. I said a year ago I could score on Kate Blankenship on a PK and I still think I can. I would say 3 scores at least in 10 penalty kick tries. I would do it right now today if it was for a good cause.
I feel like I could hit a ball out of a ball park also . Give me a week to hit and I feel like It wouldn't take me more than 20 swings to do it. It prob wouldn't take that many.
I know I could hit a 30 yard field goal if I was given five kicks. That's a no-brainer.
Anyways my hands are starting to hurt now so I need to take a break. Don't hesitate to issue a public challenge because I would probably take it.
That's what old people do
Have a great week everyone

My High School PIcks
I should not have taken a break in the middle of high school season with my picks but I did.
I am sitting at 44-11 on the year which I think is somewhere around 79% and I usually pick only the difficult games but this week I decided to pick a few more games to raise my average over 80%. That's what people do right ?
THE REAL DIFFICULT ONES
Northside vs Valdosta
Please don't tell me that Northside is great this year because they are not. They are a good football team and getting better while Valdosta may be a good football team getting worse. Both teams have quality wins over the same Coffee County team and both teams have that quality win recently. Of course I know that Valdosta is coming off of a 63-7 loss to Lee County University, but does that kill a team or wake up a team ? We don't know what it does to Valdosta.
Valdosta is at home and it is senior night so emotions will be high. The winner of this game has a great chance at the number 2 seed in the region.
Please don't think that I hate Northside even though I graduated from Warner Robins. My wife went to Northside and I have been with her for 33 years.
Some are picking this one as a blowout for Northside but I don't see it that way at all . I think it comes down to who makes a play late.
Valdosta 24 Northside 23
Ok now that I have pissed of my Northside reader lets move on
Thomas County Central- Veterans.
I love Zuell and Verger for Veterans and this one is a difficult pick because TCC is always pretty good.
Veterans 24 TCC 20
Howard-Spalding
Lots of folks have this one in their blowout pile also but I don't see it that way. Spalding only lost to Mary Persons by a 21-0 score and West Laurens by a 14-2 score. This is not a terrible football team but they just cant score. I think Howard wins in a must game for them, but it is way closer than people think.
Howard 20 Spalding 13
THE SEMI DIFFICULT ONES
Westside-Pike County
Being at Pike County makes this one a little close but I think Westside takes care of business
Westside 30 Pike 20

Upson Lee 28 West Laurens 17
Perry - Mary Persons
Perry is plying for its playoff life and although I don't think they can win I think they can keep it close.

Back with rankings
I know its sad that I decide to take a few weeks off from blogging in the middle of football season but sometimes my mind just is not clear enough to sit down and write a blog, especially when it seems like viewership numbers were down. I have always stated that I do not write to attain numbers, but I also have to admit that numbers motivate me.
I would like to thank the many followers I have that have emailed, texted and come to me at games asking where the blog has been. I am glad that people like it and I ask you to please re-tweet it after you read it. Twitter readers are great. Facebook sharing is also great.
I am going with my top 25 or 26 high school players today and I thank every coach that makes sure that stats are available somewhere. It is difficult to compile a list like this without numbers to back this stuff up.
26) Elizabeth Rodenroth- Okay is she the 26th best offensive threat in Middle Georgia ? No she probably isn't. But I could not go any longer without mentioning her in a story. I have seen Howard four times this year and this young lady has gone from a decent high school kicker to a very good high school kicker who could probably kick for 90 percent of the teams in Middle Georgia. I saw her Friday handle extra points like it was nothing special (ask Southwest and Northeast about that) and she also added a 30 or so yard field goal like it was nothing special. She simply makes her kicks when given the chance and I love the way that she has been accepted by the Howard players. She fist bumps and head bangs with the best of them on the field.
25)Jeremiah Kelly-This young man is a top 5 talent but injuries have slowed him this year. He went out Friday night again with the same ankle that has been bothering him for weeks and he went back in but he looks to be about 75 percent maybe. Howard will not go far in the playoffs if they cant get this guy healthy.
24)Christian Palmer- Lets get one thing straight. Christian is a basketball player first and will play college basketball. But what he has done this year is fairly impressive. The kid probably threw the ball less than a 100 times last year and now he is pretty much doing that every three games. Stratford doesn't have many wins this year, but Palmer takes a beating every game and just keeps doing his job. The Eagles are inside the playoff bubble right now but expect Stratford and Christian Palmer to find a way to get in.
23)Victor DixonJr- Westside is 6-2 and the junior quarterback has been solid. He has thrown for 1269 yards and 10 touchdowns.
22)Cory Munson- He is the best kicker in these parts and has D1 talent. He is a pretty fair punter but he is a supreme kicker, hitting on 10-of-14 this year with a long of 53 yards.
21)Nolan Ussery- The Northeast quarterback is one of those dual threat guys and he is having a sold season with 870 yards passing and 635 yards rushing.
20)Jahlen Rutherford-The WRHS running back has been the consistent back that the Demons need to go along with their magical passing game.
19)Quintan Sewell- Howard is in the playoff picture largely because of this young man. If he is good the Huskies are good, if he struggles the Huskies cant score. He has put up over 1100 yards of offense this year but Howard has struggled just a bit because of injuries to key players. Sewell has kept things going as well as he possibly can.
18)Malik Wooten-Just one of many weapons for Jones County. He has 30 catches this year for over 500 yards and he will only get better.
17)Jamal Marshall- Tattnall Square is a pretty good football team with Marshall on the field. Tattnall Square is a pretty average football team without him. He may be one of the five most explosive players in Middle Georgia but he has been unable to play an entire game this season because of an assortment of injuries. He played all the way against MDS and the Trojans knocked off an undefeated team.
16)Sebastian Verger- 1400 yards of offense for the Veterans quarterback. The Warhawks are 7-1 after not being so goof last year, or the year before, or the year before. Props to this young man for being a huge part of the turn around.
15)Jaydon Gibson- Peach County is always good, Peach County always has someone who can sling it, and this year Peach County has Jaydon Gibson who has 1144 yards through the air to go with 12 touchdowns.
14)Jaylon Barden- Westside has talent and Barden is one of many talents. He would probably on that most explosive list and I would love to see a Jaylon vs Jamal sprint race. Barden is having a solid year with 33 catches for 536 yards.
13)Max Rigby- Rigby is coming into his own as the Houston County quarterback and has 1453 yards through the air with 13 touchdowns.
12)Cyrus Zuell- Big strong running back who is having a great year for Veterans with 803 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns.
11)Lane Rucker- The talented Perry quarterback has led Perry to a winning record this year and will have to keep producing if his team is going to make the playoffs. Rucker has already thrown for 2260 yards and 14 touchdowns.
10)Jaydin Daniels- Northside has a huge game with Valdosta this weekend and Daniles will have to continue to do his thing. He is probably the number one dual threat quarterback in the area with 937 yards passinf and 792 yards rushing.
9)Davion Ross-Perry has a big time threat at receiver with this guy, who has hauled in 51 passes already this year for 751 yards and 8 touchdowns.
8)Jontavis Robertson- 801 yards catching passes for those Hounds with 9 touchdowns.
7)Dexter Williams-Mount de Sales lost a game but Williams is legit all the way with 1328 yards on the ground and 683 yards through the air to go with 21 touchdowns.
6)Tyshaun Freeman-He is a bruiser who has given Westside a running game, something the Seminoles don't always have. He has 926 yards on the ground with 10 touchdowns for a very good football team.
5)Quen Wilson- Mary Persons is good and Quen Wilson is very good and putting up the numbers to prove it. The running back has962 yards on the ground with 19 touchdowns.
4)Marcayll Jones- If you want to see video game numbers, well here we are. This 5'10 receiver has 63 catches for a huge, astounding 1420 yards, which gives him a chance at a 200 yard year if Warner Robins continues to win.
3)Hunter Costlow- The Jones County quarterback puts out more video game numbers with 2001 yards of passing and 26 touchdowns.
2)JT Hartage- Ok no video game numbers here but just a sold quarterback who does everything. The Mary Persons quarterback is completing 71% of his passes and has thrown only 2 interceptions in 8 games. He has 15 touchdown passes and has thrown for 1711 yards.
1)Dylan Fromm-The las tof the Fromm brothers has a chance at a 4000 yard season and already has over 2800 yards to go with 31 touchdowns for Warner Robins.
We will be back with something else later this week

Touchinhg my heart today
Sometimes I blog because I feel like I am supposed to and I need to because maybe just maybe someone is waiting to read who I will pick in a high school football game or who I may put in my best players in the area list.
Today I blog because I write when I have feelings that need to come out, and sometimes writing is very therapeutic for me.
I write in respect for everyone who has been affected by the death of Dylan Thomas.
I can't even begin to count the number of high school football games I have seen over the past 45 years but I am sure it is many more than the average sports fan. I have been blessed to get to see many games over the last 10 years on the sideline, which is 100% my preferred place to watch. I have often been told that it would be much simpler to watch and write about the game from the press box, but that never suited me. I loved being on the field, where you could feel the raw emotions of the players who needed a win and the coaches who have to have a win.I did not personally know Dylan Thomas, but I feel like I have known hundreds of young men just like Dylan Thomas, kids who loved the game of football and just wanted to play.
I have often talked to the trainers on the sidelines during the game who do their best to keep the players as healthy as possible.
I first heard about the injury to Dylan Thomas on Friday night on Twitter and it sounded very serious at the time. My first thoughts went towards the parents who had sent their son to play in a football game and never got to talk to him again. I thought about the other players who had to watch a player from their team, probably a best friend to many of them, get carried off the field in a situation that they knew was dire. I thought of Peach County, the team that Dylan Thomas was playing against that night and about how bad they must have felt. I mean someone hit this kid that night and knocked him down and how terrible a thought was that for whoever that player was.
I also thought about the coaches from Pike County and how hard that must have been for them. Evidently Dylan Thomas was knocked out of the game early and went back in before passing out on the sideline. Obviously they would not have put him back in the game if the had any inkling of how bad he was injured, or even injured at all. I don't know this but I am guessing Dylan Thomas, who weighed 150 pounds, was begging to go back into the game and he had clearance from the trainers to go back into the game.
Lastly I think about the trainers on the field. I think every high school team travels with trainers and they have the decision to let a kid back in a game or not. I have seen kids begging to get back in a game and the trainers saying no. I have asked trainers straight up about the worst injuries they have ever had to deal with and most of them involve a blown out or broken leg. They see concussions every day and every game and the protocol is fairly advanced. But on this Friday night, the injury was much worse, and those trainers will never forget Dylan Thomas
I pray for the EMTS who probably had to deal with an injury they may have never seen before and I am sure everyone did everything they could to save this young mans life. Sometimes however it is just not meant to be. Football is a violent sport and sometimes accidents happen. It does not make the outcome easier to deal with , but Dylan Thomas will not be forgotten.
Pike County is 4-1 on the year and I do not know what their plan is for the rest of the year, but I am betting they will be back on the field for another game very soon. I saw a video of one of the Pike County captains and he said that Dylan would want them to keep playing.
God Bless every one of those kids and everyone who was a part of a terrible Friday night.
Lets all pray for safe Fridays to come
Rest in Peace Dylan Thomas
