As the clock ticks, I wait anxiously for it to hit 3:23 P.M. All I could think about was football practice. My first game is tomorrow and I am overwhelmed with excitement.

Being lucky, another student answers saying “m is slope”. As the bell rings, the teacher comes up to me saying “Next time pay attention instead of looking at the clock, time…

Football is a sport loved by many people in the country, but not many people have the ability to play it. Yes you can join the school team but it really doesn 't matter, do not get me wrong you are still part of the team, but when you are one of the best it feels good to be admired by many young people, being scouted from colleges and universities, and sometimes if you make it in college you might even reach your dream of becoming a professional football player.

I have always been very involved in different extracurricular activities but my main focus has always been soccer. I started playing for my first team at six years old, and I have not looked back.

Even a stunted plant can give fruit. I was starting middle linebacker for a state championship varsity football team as a sophomore. I was the cream of the crop. The dream of playing college football was becoming reality. I was ready to bloom as an athlete.

When you turn the paper like this,” my orthopedic surgeon demonstrates with her hand, “and apply enough force, it…

This has been an argument since football was adopted to college in the late 1800s that has led to a talk about banning America’s past time. Ted Miller attempts to show how college football could never become dangerous enough to mention the term “ban” along with college football. Even though Ted Miller's, “Should college football be banned”, he fails to defend the subject that college football, as…

Asking if college football should be banned is a very sensitive topic to many people in the south. This would make for a great argument for any avid college football fan, including myself. There are several arguments as to why college football should be banned. However, there are just as many, if not more arguments as to why college football should not be banned. It is a way of life for millions of people who grow up in the southeastern part of the United States. Therefor, I think this…
