Now that the Super Bowl is over and the best 22 weeks of life --including playoffs -- are over, what are we all supposed to do? What else am I supposed to look forward to on Sundays? Homework? No way that is possible. The post-football season blues is a sad time for all and something we all must get through together. These are my suggestions for getting through this tough time.
Purdue basketball. Start watching and going to the Purdue basketball games. They are always exciting and something you can do with your friends. We all have school spirit, right? Another plus is that they are usually more frequent than once a week, and there are no bye weeks.
NHL. The National Hockey League games are great for hanging out with guy friends and drinking beer. The intensity is close to that of football. But the best part is that there is still half the season left. The playoffs are not until the end of May, beginning of June.
NBA. The National Basketball Association doesn’t get much credit, but it is fun to watch. The All-Star Game is on Feb. 15 at Madison Square Garden. The regular season doesn’t end until April 15, so you have a long time to still watch and get into it. The playoffs start April 18.
Now that our favorite sport season is over, it is time to throw yourself completely into another sport to forget the fact that you won’t see a Packers game for another seven months. I told you about my favorite three choices, but now it’s up to you to figure out which ones you like and want to obsess over.
