Just a bit different note, band performances aren't regulated by law, you'll be hard pressed to see anything on a football field that is really unethical, illegal, takes money from the public or scamming someone into learning how to play an instrument.

I almost see this like a football team laying 14 points in a game and some co-worker who is a big fan of the underdog wants to bet that “his team” will win straight up, he doesn’t want the points because he wants the win, and he will wager $100 to win $100…..since I know the likelihood of the underdog winning is more like 10 to 1, I’ll take the foolish bet from “homer co-worker”…. 10 percent of the time I’ll lose $100 and 90 percent I’ll win $100….a lot of people would still say I’m gambling…. 

We enjoy the local college sports (season tickets to basketball and football), travel, hiking, snorkel/SCUBA, fishing.  

I am a realtor and investor in the Canton Ohio area (Football Hall of Fame).

I will miss a Monday due to a football game.

I liken this example to a football team: You CAN be very successful by being just a "running team", or an "aerial team" or even a "defense first" team. 

I want control back over my time and that is what I am doing in my REI journey.My 13 year old son loves football and basketball and wants to play on the collegiate level one day.

Used to have football camp in Cochran, and somehow it was always 95 degrees or worse.  

I started them at the beginning of football season so the numbers are a little inflated but they should average out to about 3x long term rental rates.  

alumni come for football events and basketball events.
