I may not stay in the chat box, with all the negativity even during wins it makes bad games almost unbareable in there. But I never stop watching until the clock is at all zeros.
I took my 8 year old son to his first game, KSU vs the HUSKERS. Franks last game. About half way through the 4th quarter he looks at me and says, we just arent going to win this one are we. I say nope. He says well why dont we leave. And I simply say "its not over and we wont leave until it is, you never know what you might miss if you leave". Folks all around him said, hang in there buddy it will get better we promise.
I applaud your approach with your kid. However, the "...it will get better..." might be true, but at this point, I am so unbelievably weary of the "...it'll get better at some point..." The last 20+ years of mediocre to bad football just has me doubting we're ever going to be good again.
