OT: Frisco Jr.
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2005 3:49 pm
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.
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.Harvdog wrote:Frisco, if you raise that kid an aggie fan, I am calling CPS.

You need to get that kid a bumper sticker for the stroller that says:IndyFrisco wrote:I've already had this discussion with the wife.

Of course, I told the wife it would give us an excuse to go to College Station 6 times during football season. ;)
Actually its the gear he is wearing or the yell leaders one of the two.MuchoBulls wrote:I think the bobbleheads scared him.PrimeX wrote:Look at Jr's eyes. It's like he's thinking "DAD, GET THE WEEK 8 SCORES UP BEFORE THE RIOT!!!"
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.IndyFrisco wrote:I've already had this discussion with the wife.

Not so much me as it is their mother.MiketheangrydrunkenCUfan wrote: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.
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.Terry in Crapchester wrote:
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."

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:
That would be Mr. October, Reggie Jackson.Shoalzie wrote:Nice pic, Frisco...who signed his baseball?
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.

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.
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.Terry in Crapchester wrote: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).
