Ok community, I need your help: how much football is too much football?
On Saturday, I went to three games—kindergarteners, 2nd graders, and the Aggies. Enthusiasm was high at all three. Honestly, I’m not sure which one spiked my heart rate the most.
I even got to call the plays at the 2nd grade game. I don’t want to brag but... If the Aggies get their hands on that tape, there’s at least a 65% chance I’ll be on the sidelines for their next SEC matchup.
Cheers,
Nolan

We’re in that funny in-between season, with nights in the 60s and days still brushing the 80s and 90s. The grass isn't showing much change yet, but underground, it’s getting ready.
One good rain or a well-timed irrigation cycle, and your turf will perk right up. October is one of Austin’s best months for rain and lawn recovery, so now’s the moment for topdressing and aeration. Want lush grass come spring? It starts now.
