Well, I'm soon-to-be 46, so I've watched a lot of football in those four and a half decades. And my dad was a football coach, so there's that, too.
Some people are 86 and haven't learned a thing, some have some don't you appear to have it. At what level did your dad coach?
Coaches are many times a surrogate dad for young guys who have none or the ones they have are awful. I admire them in general.
That's funny. My last daughter was born Dec 30, 2013 and I watched the LSU/Iowa outback bowl on New Year's Day in the hospital.
People can sometimes be very insensitive, so they would say things to my dad like, "Aren't you upset that you only had a daughter? Didn't you want a son?" He had the perfect response, "Over the years, I had a thousand sons, but I only had one daughter." He was able to get his "boy fix" by coaching them, and yes, he became like a father to many of them. There are even still a few who come to visit him to this day, even if they've been out of high school for 30 years.
That is a great answer to wanting a daughter had to make you feel proud. Enjoy you being here and don't take my sarcasm too seriously here just having fun with the boyz.
I always thought that my dad would want me to have boys, but he was actually really happy to have two granddaughters, even said when he found out my younger one was a girl that he was excited it wasn't a boy. He probably got enough of boys in all of those years of coaching.
