Lack of Desire leaves gap in schedule

Though Calvary football fans are in the midst of their last full month of regular season action, they have lost their Desire for gridiron action on Oct. 19.

Desire Street Academy, scheduled to pay a visit to the Cavaliers on the third playing date in October, had a change of heart and decided to stay in Baton Rouge that night rather than make the trip to the northwestern corner of the state.

There will be a cloak of darkness on the carpet at Calvary's Jerry Barker Stadium that night affording the neighbors an escape from the traffic and noise from the Friday night norm. Moreover, that darkness and lack of activity will provide us Calvary fans with one big, long night of boredom.

Sure, there will be other games around town that night, but those events will be just that--games--most about as exciting as a game of monopoly or Chinese checkers. We Calvary fans have been spoiled by the product our coaches and players have put on the field.

So, on Friday, Oct. 19, I plan to come home, take a nap, dig in my closet for my Scrabble game and countdown the minutes until another Calvary football game rolls around.
