Not that I don't love working hoops, but working football into basketball into baseball each year means it's probably a good idea to cut back a bit until I can figure out whether I want to leave a sport behind. I've been saying this for at least 10 years now and I still haven't cut a sport out, so I don't anticipate it coming anytime soon. Matter of fact, in the last 10 years I've added (and removed and re-added) college baseball and added college football.

7 games in November, 13 in December, 13 in January, and 7 in February. Seems pretty balanced to me. I'm guessing I'll work more makeups now that I have actual nights off during the season, too.

Yep, me too. Last year I worked about the same amount of games as you mainly because the OHSAA allowed teams to increase their regular season schedules to 22 from 20. I was accepting additional contracts thinking- I can handle this only to find out later from my legs-no you can't! Have taken on a more moderate schedule this year.
Rich, this year could be another Whitewater-Mount Union classic in D3 football right?
