Gotta love Football!

I love watching football games! I don't know how many football games I have been to in my lifetime - but it has been alot!!

When I was younger, my dad had season football tickets at the University of Utah and he would take a different child with him to each game. I remember the long walks up the hill trying to keep up with him, the cokes and popcorn, the people smoking all around us and the annoying Wyoming football fans that would show up when we played them. As I got older, I used the binoculars to try and find cute boys in the student section. I attended many games when I was a student and after getting married, we have had season tickets off and on - more times on than off!

I started going to Little League football games when my cousin Scott played and then my brothers - Dee, John and Ed - then Preston (and Parker for one season) and nephew Willie....again many games in good weather and bad!

Then high school football - watching games when I was a student - watching my brothers - and then watching Preston and my introduction to Hunter High School football!

During Preston's career at HHS - the varsity football team lost only 6 games - winning 30! The JV team's record was probably close to the same! Preston played JV two years and Varsity all three years (starting his jr. and sr. years) - which was well over 60 games - and I probably made it to 99% of them! This year at the "U" there are four players on the team that Preston played high school ball with and it is fun to watch them - in fact two of them scored touchdowns in the game last Saturday!

Football players are a different "breed" - and it's not for everyone - but it sure is fun to watch!

I agree -- I like the football weather, too, especially the crisp autumn nights!
