I know most area school have yet to begin but many sports have already started.

There's still a month to go before major league baseball playoffs start and the pro football season begins next week.

But for me, the official start of fall start at approximately 7 p.m. today when the local football season begins.

There will be plenty of storylines to follow this season and the excitement will only build with each week.

This is a fun time to follow local sports. The only downer -- with each passing week, the temperatures outside will continue to fall. Brrrr!!
