Proud State fan and dad

[Dawgcap]

I’ve posted this before but I gotta say it again as a State fan, several Nattys in! Don’t judge the beer!!
I freaked out about leading my children into a lifelong relationship being a State sports fan enduring the 80s in football and basketball. Thank god for baseball. But y’all I am so proud that I have an upcoming senior at State that has found the love of her life at State! They bleed Maroon! They are going into their senior years at the START of the greatest time of Miss State history!!
Son is a senior in high school and like my daughter has no intentions of goin anywhere else. Did I push them? Well maybe when they were young but I always talked of options but when my daughter experienced 2014 Auburn she was hooked. Son experienced the last 4 years tailgating and rooting for this great school.
We tailgated and went to the games when they were young and got away from it for about 8-10 years cause it seemed easier but as an old guy to young parents don’t miss those years! The best pictures, the best smiles are and always will be in Maroon! I’m proud to know someday that I am the start of my family tree at State!!!

I have a rising junior there as well. I never really pushed him to go there although it’s really all he knew. He went from being a quiet kid flying under the radar in high school to being president of his fraternity and being elected to multiple political positions within the student body. He’s emerged as a leader within the student body. He’s at home right now for summer but he’s been saying for the last two weeks that he is dying to get back to campus. As he said, “it’s my place, it’s where I’m happy and it’s just where I belong...”. I remind him regularly that it’s a great time to be an MSU student - better than any other time in history that I can think of.

There is nothing wrong with steering your kids to the right college, it's part

of your parental responsibility. Nice post.
