That is billboard material

Edit: Of course I meant bulletin board. Put this picture in the locker room. Let the players know we care, support, and hurt when they hurt. This would make me play even harder.

My 8 yr old recorded the game so he could watch after school. I called him from work while he was watching and asked if he wanted me to tell him what happened..... I couldn't let him get kicked in the balls knowingly. He said "we lost didn't we?" I told him how and it's dead silence on the phone followed by hysterical crying.

I think so too, and I hope you are right!

My 12 year old son watched it on TV with me. He was almost in tears too, mouth agape, face contorting.
Meanwhile I was screaming at the TV, introducing my son to some colorful phrases.

I saw that when it happened.

I've never cried from a sports loss though.

I don't really want my eight year old son doing any hysterical crying, especially over a sports score.

I love that he genuinely cares and has passion as an 8 yr old for something so much that it hurts. I love that he was crying and showing compassion for yannick when he saw another person hurting like that. I love that he wants to go to games and bond and spend time with me. So if you have an 8 yr old feel free to parent as you wish, but no need to comment on mine.

Great life lesson. Those of us who have followed SMU athletics for decades are a pretty tough breed of fan. Days like Thursday just make the good days that much sweeter is my philosophy.

These kind of are the good ol days.
