Is it finally football weather?

I know that last week started the high school football season in all three states, but all week I had told everyone that it just didn't feel like the regular season had begun.

I couldn't pinpoint what was making it feel less exciting until I walked outside to get ready for Week 2.

When I stepped out of my house in Ashland today, I could smell a little rain, a little mud and a hint of pigskin mixed in somewhere in the recipe.

The inferno that was Week 1 seemed more like a scene from Survivor than the start of football season.

Even the stories from games suffered as it seemed like several coaches wanted to focus more on the weather aspect instead of the football game itself.

This brings me to the question...Do you think that the season (and/or the start of fall practice) should be pushed back a week or two for the safety and enjoyment of fans and players?
