Football is Baaaack! ... Are You Ready?
Expect the temperatures to be as hot as the action as a new season begins on the gridiron.
Hank Williams Jr. was a singer/songwriter and country musician superstar long before he crooned perhaps his most famous line: “Are you ready for some football?”
Now, he is thought of by fans across America whenever they head out to watch a ballgame or cozy up in their living rooms to watch the action on the big screen. And there will be action this weekend in the Bolingbrook/Romeoville area and across the nation as high school and college football teams kick off the season.
