The Worst Time of Year

[Show-Me Hog]

British Open done, all majors done. Wimbledon done. World Cup done. The Cardinals are mediocre and the Reds absolutely suck.

Until Labor Day weekend, there's nothing to do but be hot and be bored. This is absolutely the worst time of the year.

And yard work is miserable because of the heat

On one hand I agree with you, but the past 13 years of Arkansas football has made me really enjoy this time of year before the season starts.

Formula one. Although they have one more race and then it's a three week break for their "summer break" because it's too hot in Europe to race in August.

My X and Instagram algorithms are all jacked up.

Just get a place on Lake of the Ozarks and drink beer.

Doldrums season, indeed. This is when I start lighting money on fire betting on football season win totals.

Thank God we get this basketball foreign tour.

Regardless of the heat index, I'll take summer over winter every time; but, in terms of sports (or lack thereof), I consider July and August an annual Schrodinger's Razorback experiment.

We all know that on September 5 our cardinal "cat" will be unwell, it will be moribund at the very least by September 12, and it will be hammer dead when the box is finally opened on September 19. However, until then we can console ourselves with there's still a chance.

Returning to the subject of summer, my only complaint is that I sweat more than any other human on earth and have done so since I was a kid. It gets tiresome having strangers approaching and asking, "are you alright?"

Preseason starts in three weeks.

This is normally "talking season" for football, but we're in a weird spot right now where there's nothing to talk about.

"We're probably going to suck, let's see what happens" is a pretty short discussion.

Yeah the ESPN analysis from the football thread is spot on.

Espn's analysis of the hogs says basically we don't know squat because of the new staff and near complete team overhaul..

I know we're not going to be great, but other than that I don't have a fucking clue. We could be anywhere from absolutely terrible (again) to refreshingly mediocre.

I have not been able to find any information if these games are going to be aired?

Nothing so far. I've watched the last few(like Maui) on some obscure streaming channel that I can't remember the name of. I bet it will be streamed somewhere.

Won't know until the new Hooten's comes out

Won't know until the new Hooten's comes out

that should be any day, right?

[Boarat]

When does Scott Cain start doing his daily updates on Drivetime? Thanks and I'll hang up and listen.

[Ray Zorback]

that should be any day, right?

I think I saw it at Krogers yesterday. I saw a display of some magazine with Silverfield on cover.
