Green and White -
Spring and Summer…
and Fall

August 18, 2008

We’ve got it backwards in Michigan. Show up to the first Novi Wildcat baseball game in the spring, and it will cold, very cold. It might even snow.

Show up to the first Novi Wildcat Football Green and White scrimmage and it will be hot, very hot.

And that’s exactly what I did, and it was fun. My prediction is that the Novi Wildcat football team will go at least 6-3 this season and find their way back into the State playoffs. Their practice/workout/drills/scrimmaging Saturday looked crisp and the players and coaches went about their duties in a businesslike manner.

And the fan turnout was great as well. Wildcat Country looks to be in midseason, even if it is still summer.

And as far as the weather? Well, there will be plenty of cold weather games later in the year as well. It might even feel like baseball season.

Go Wildcats…
