We are living parallel lives. My 18 lives for football in our small town - we also are the Raiders! My 14 is on the fresh/soph team. I always ridiculed and hated football until they started playing; than I HAD to get involved in something so dear to their hearts! Dang! We are living parallel lives.

I think we live the same Friday Night Life! Every one of your observations could be said about football in my neck of the woods. I also have a tenth grader who plays D-line for the JV and dresses for Varsity "Just In Case" - I also make him eat a banana before he leaves for the game! Love your blog - it's one that I'm sure to check every day. Oh, my goodness. I think we live the same Friday Night Life!

And you watch football the way I watch football. And what's with stopping the freaking clock all the time? What is that all about? Just play and get the game over with already! The thing is, we've got lives to live. Yea, he’s cute. And you watch football the way I watch football. And what’s with stopping the freaking clock all the time? What is that all about?

Computer illiterate we are! We are! I never had a child in football but I had them in volleyball and basketball. I never did learn all the rules so I would watch the other parents to know when to yell good or bad things. Now I get to go to TBall and Little League games for the grandkids. Unfortunately only one out of umpteen Little League games were exciting after we went on a losing streak. My grandson pitched a great game and was striking them out left and right. That was the first game of the tournament.Of course after that the angels left the field and we lost all of the rest. Blessings.

My son, 16, is a junior and has played basketball and baseball at his small high school for the last 2 years. This year he announces that he wants to play soccer too. Never played soccer a day in his life and he makes the starting team. Now I sit on sidelines all school-year long instead of 2/3rds of the year. Those who know he's never played before keep asking me how he's doing....I have no idea. I know absolutely nothing about soccer..rules, positions, nothing. My reply.."ummmm, he runs around a lot...Is that good?" Love your blog, read it every day! Beth in Michigan Any mom with a teenage son can so relate!!
