I never posted a pic of the little guy. Here's one from a couple weeks ago when he was 2 weeks old. Yes, my life has changed forever.

Oh, just wait.

I have to use a line that was used on me when my son was born.

Frisco, if you raise that kid an aggie fan, I am calling CPS.

Congrats.

Look at Jr's eyes. It's like he's thinking "DAD, GET THE WEEK 8 SCORES UP BEFORE THE RIOT!!!"

Gonna look good in Burnt Orange once he's able to dress himself.

I've already had this discussion with the wife. He'll be an Aggie fan, but I don't think I could handle sending him to Texas for college. That's just too damn far from Indiana.

Of course, I told the wife it would give us an excuse to go to College Station 6 times during football season. ;)

You need to get that kid a bumper sticker for the stroller that says:

"I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could."

Indy,

Would you rather have your kid turn gay or turn a Longhorn fan?

Oh wait. Same thing.

BAAAZING!

I've had a similar discussion with my wife about the kids going to ND. She thinks it's too far away and too expensive (she's right on the latter count). But if they want to go there, and I hope they will, when the time comes, I think they should have the opportunity.

Plus, I'd have an excuse to go back for all the games. :wink:

Indy & Terry,
I don't have kids, so maybe I just don't understand, but it seems to me that after 18 years of poop-filled diapers, back-talking, rebellion, etc., I might actually want my kid to go far away for college.

BTW, Frisco, I wouldn't be so certain about what team he's gonna root for. I have a pic of me as a toddler dressed head-to-toe in Husker gear (courtesy of Mom), and look how I turned out... :twisted:

Not so much me as it is their mother.

Just to give an example of her: she cried uncontrollably when her nephew went away to college, and where he was going was only a two hour drive away! Later, that same nephew and his girlfriend decided to move to North Carolina, which prompted another crying outburst and her saying, "That bitch took him away from me."

Hmmm...go away to college and have a steady girlfriend or work at the bottle return at a grocery store and hangout with your Aunt on Friday nights. I can understand her frustration.

Mike , it all comes back to you. If you do right and raise your kids healthy theres nothing like it. You can't escape the poopy diapers but the rest is up to you.

I am going to hit a milestone birthday this summer and will celebrate it with a week long back pack trek on the Appalacian trail with my 12 year old son. To that end I consider myself the richest man I know with a serious cash flow problem.

Don't get me wrong, parent hood is the roughest gig I ever had and you get no sick time :cry:

At Large · Post by **At Large** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 1:07 pm

I have a daughter that I adore, but one of the things that is absolutely cute about her is disappointing from a football aspect. My wife and I love college football and Nebraska of course. My 4-year-old daughter on the other hand, while she knows to yell "Go Huskers" when she sees the familiar uniforms is a VERY girlie girl. She's suddenly into everything princess, dance and such and could care less when the Nebraska game is on. I'm working on it, but be prepared for disappointment if things don't turn out.

For example, my old boss has Nebraska season tickets, but for some reason, his son loves the Kansas State Wildcats, which has caused some tension in the home since his son has more reason to celebrate lately when those two teams play.

Or your kid could be like me. I barely knew the Huskers existed even though our family watched all of the games growing up. I barely shed a tear when NU lost the championship game in the 84 Orange because I didn't follow them that close. My twin brother and I then started hanging out with a die-hard fan in junior high. From 1984 season on, we were hooked.

That would be Mr. October, Reggie Jackson.

When I lived in Dallas, I worked for a major semiconductor company (give ya one guess). Anyway, Reggie was a spokesman for a company called Viking Components. He came and gave a presentation to a group of 10 of us trying to get us to buy some of their shit. Anyway, he sat next to me when they took us out to lunch. We talked for about two and a half hours. Never once did I mention baseball to him. We talked about football and golf.

My co-workers and his colleagues all had left. I told him I was playing golf at the Four Seasons the next day. His eyes lit up. I invited him to join, and he said yes. He took my number. On the way to our cars, he asked me to come to his car. He opened the trunk and pulled a baseball out of a box of baseballs. He signed it, "To Frisco August 3, 2000 Reggie Jackson"

One of my most prized posessions.

He actually called me later that night and said he couldn't make the golf, but would keep my number for the next time he was in town. Never heard from him again, but makes for a great story.

indyfrisco · Post by **indyfrisco** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 1:20 pm

Yeah, here it is.

http://www.powertolearn.com/ask_the_exp ... son_.shtml

Reggie enjoyed an amazing 21-year career, as one of Major League Baseball's most feared sluggers. His 563 career home runs is sixth on the all time list. His 18 post-season homers and .757 World Series slugging average are the best ever, earning him the moniker. "Mr. October."
He played in eleven league Championship Series and five World Series during his illustrious career, and no player in history performed better in clutch playoff and World Series situations.

Jackson was the American League Most valuable Player in 1973 with the Oakland Athletics, and the 1977 World Series MVP with the New York Yankees. It was in the final game of that series that he hit his famous three consecutive home runs, off three different pitchers, each on the first pitch he was thrown.

Reggie retired as a player in 1987 and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1993, his first year of eligibility. He has since worked with the New York Yankees, as special assistant to the managing general partner, and with many major international corporations as a spokesperson and in business development. He is currently the Director of New Business Development for Viking Components, the world's fastest growing computer memory manufacturer, where he is responsible for creating and maintaining corporate alliances. His collection of automobiles is well renowned, and is housed in separate warehouses and museums from Carmel to Costa Mesa, California. He also operates the Mr. October foundation for Kids, a non-profit organization dedicated to the education of underprivileged children of all races and backgrounds. Reggie was born in 1946 in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, and attended Arizona State University where he excelled in football and baseball.

I don't care what school the little guy becomes a fan of as long it isn't Purdue or t.u.

Terry in Crapchester · Fri Oct 28, 2005 5:03 pm

How about ND? He's close enough to be a fan (hell, he's a lot closer than I was as a kid, and I grew up a fan).

It's definitely a possibility. I'm hoping he plays sports. On my side and my wife's side of the family, golf has always been a strong suit. I was a pretty good baseball player too so maybe he will pick that up. The local HS baseball team here is pretty damn good year in and year out.

I don't see him being a basketball or football player just because I think he'll be about 6'0" 180 kinda like his pops was.

IN any case, I know how kids jump on bandwagons. If ND is doing well when the kid starts to get an interest in sports, he'll be eyeing them, I'm sure. All of my wife's family went to IU so he'll most likely be a Hoosier fan. We live only 70 miles from Bloomington.
