Tepper: Football season arrives in Texas, complicated as it may be

The word you’re looking for is impalpable. I should know, because it’s the word I couldn’t come up with for about a week while I sat, unmoving fingers resting on the keyboard, the cursor taunting me with every blink.

Most years, this is a relatively easy piece to write. Football’s back! Strike up the band! Maybe tie it into a grander metaphor about how football is a microcosm of life; or find a quote from Walt Whitman or Tom Waits that you can spin into a greater theme. Whatever, it doesn’t matter, football’s here!
