As a kid who grew up on the west side I found myself drawn to Michigan football. My dad wasn't into sports. My mom not much either. They just didn't like sports. They took care of me while the games were on. "It's cold. Here's a blanket" we will bring your food in there. My mom would even read the stat page in the paper so she could discuss it with me. At the time I thought nice . Now I realize it was more than that. It was parents having a child who came out a lot like them but also very different. This was their real first look at me being interested in something that not only they weren't interested in I can only assume they thought would not be a part of their lives. I can remember my mother pulling up in
The driveway one summer afternoon. Yelling get in the car. Bo is doing a book signing at the mall. She had already bought the book just to be safe.
I played sports. They came to all my games. My dad even coached. I played football. I was pretty good. I also got in
A lot of trouble those high school years and joined the service. From Charleston to Iraq. Norfolk to Kuwait. I watched Michigan football. Moved back to the states and traveled a lot. Pittsburg, Jacksonville, key west, Seattle, LA Toledo, KC and more. I've lost a lot on the way. But every Saturday in fall. I get it all back. When a game is on I think of friends and family from past lifetimes but I always think about mom and dad and Steve Smith the greatest QB in Michigan history.
I have kids now. They don't care about football at all. They like soccer. I coach it. I watch it. I learn about. Hell I even play in a league so I can experience it.
They are really into comics. We read them together. We search for cools ones together. I read about comic book characters after they sleep so I can drop some knowledge on them.
I guess I'm saying
Those who stay.....

Anyone who has spent time coaching knows TY already knows in his head who the starting RB Is going to be. The rest are of the practices are for a kid to do something incredible to prove himself wrong.
