Friday Night Fever

Kansas Pregame's 2021 Football Preview is now online. Hard copy deliveries begin late this week.

“I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more (football)!”

Much like Christopher Walken’s character in the legendary Saturday Night Live sketch “More Cowbell,” I’m in need of a treatment. A healing remedy of pads popping, fans screaming, linemen grunting and option QBs...well...optioning.

No, the answer is not more of Will Ferrell’s overdone cowbell in the sketch - though I’m a huge fan - the “two Tylenol and call me in the morning” for this fever is high school football.

The 2021 8-Man All-Star games return to Beloit this weekend after COVID led to the cancellation of the 35th annual games last summer. Coaches, players and fans will take part in a pep-rally Friday night prior to the Saturday morning kickoff of the Division II game at 10 o’clock, followed by the Division I game at 1:30.

The players and coaches are anxious to compete, especially given the cancellation of last year’s games, the first cancellations in the 36 year history of the event.
