The Deck at 260 Volume 54

October is almost over sadly and it's one of the best times to hang on the deck.

Homecoming battle, 24 team playoff, perfect attendance award, dark college football weekend

Gaffney's Homecoming/birthday was this past weekend and per always a fun and exciting week. I see the folks down in the Pee Dee area stating Wilson has the best high school Homecoming at least in South Carolina.  As I stated last year on the deck, one day I'll get down to Wilson to form my own thoughts. Meanwhile I like it when we can simply enjoy the Homecomings we know and not try to compare too hard. 

I like the current college football playoff system. Some were afraid it would take away from the regular season (although playoffs are the norm in every sport). In a weekend like we had with so many highly ranked teams losing, it's always interesting to see where they land and how this will affect the season long term. However 24 teams will make the playoffs too broad, the regular season more insignificant and guess what deserving teams will still get left out? Just a thought there. 

I was at one point all for the perfect attendance awards at school and even the workplace. However as diseases and illness continues to spread I don't think we should normalize it as much anymore. I'm speaking to the schools especially with e-learning being more of a concept. There needs to be less encouragement towards perfect attendance as that isn't the healthiest behavior. 

See you all next week!
