My poor son (soon to be 4)is stuck with Army football as the one thing he really will not be able to fight. I am going on 20 yrs as a season ticket holder and brought him to his first game this year. Hard to beat the first time tossing the pigskin (or nerf in this case) while tailgating at West Point. After that it's Yankees, Giants and Nascar (and Sussex Skyhawks baseball - due to proximity and free tix from wife's job). Even in Daycare when one of his teachers says "Go Mets" he always responds "Pee-yew." Still working on the Giants/Jets thing. Babysitter is a huge Jets fan by my boy goes "J-E-T-S Go Giants". Finally, the Nascar deal is all my doing and he can't get enough of DW going Boogity, Boogity, Boogity at the begining of all the FOX Nascar telecasts. Even the first time (of what seems like 5000) watching the movie Cars, he said Boogity, Boogity, Boogity when the race started. Even my wife got a chuckle out of that.dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02350878242630040563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24495557.post-6921754181722336662007-02-02T16:58:00.000-05:002007-02-02T16:58:00.000-05:002007-02-02T16:58:00.000-05:00Great blog, Dan.

My 3 have no choice but to be Pats and Red Sox fans (and unfortunately, Bruins and Celtics fans too). And I'm starting to think this offspring fandom theory is more genetic than environmental.<br /><br />rob (warwick)Jingoisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269679565181077961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24495557.post-70536349101629137812007-02-02T09:35:00.000-05:002007-02-02T09:35:00.000-05:002007-02-02T09:35:00.000-05:00only - wow... get them started off on the right foot right away!

I don't have a son that I have to worry about this stuff for. I got a daughter! <br /><br />Here's a funny little story for you though Dan. I'm a KU grad and one of my wife's friends is a K-State grad. Her daughter is about 2 months older than mine and they go to the same day care and everything. So when the KU-Kstate football game happened this fall, we dressed up the girls in a cheerleading outfit from their respective schools. (and of course the mom's were taking about 300 photos while I was trying to watch the game.) Needless to say that when KU romped KState I couldn't help but make a few comments.<br /><br />The task at hand is figuring out how is do I raise her to "hate" of KState and Mizzou in the school pride way without teaching her to view those schools as inferior, which they clearly are.jhawkjjmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01121137385290899419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24495557.post-42581597536225229832007-02-01T16:42:00.000-05:002007-02-01T16:42:00.000-05:002007-02-01T16:42:00.000-05:00Thanks for the hint.

I've been successful in raising my 12 year old son as a Steelers fan in Texans country. It hasn't hurt that:<br /><br />1) I'm very passionate about the Steelers (and the Pens)<br />2) The Steelers and Super Bowl XL<br />3) The Texans SUCK<br /><br />SB XL brought about Big Ben jersey's for everyone in the house. My son wears a Steelers lanyard with his school badge - very worthy of him.Geo Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17976606962381965529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24495557.post-48266255852035470862007-02-01T16:20:00.000-05:002007-02-01T16:20:00.000-05:002007-02-01T16:20:00.000-05:00Dan, I have you beat with twin 10 month old boys that I am raising as Jayhawk and Chiefs fans. They had about 8 outfits before they were even born and I have to show you this pic... took them to the holy land at my first opportunity :)<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebrown5/197107942/in/set-72157594151012860/OnlyInboards.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04459820629063344732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24495557.post-10843265261214079622007-02-01T15:59:00.000-05:002007-02-01T15:59:00.000-05:002007-02-01T15:59:00.000-05:00First.

I gave some thought and time to writing a diary with some sort of entry when my daughter was born in 2000. Now I'm not a writer by profession, nor was there these cool DIY blogsites, but I soon decided that my time was better spent being WITH her, than writing about her.<br /><br />Good luck here and at home.<br /><br />LancePokhrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10357911373224363831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24495557.post-3309937470346155452007-02-01T15:22:00.000-05:002007-02-01T15:22:00.000-05:002007-02-01T15:22:00.000-05:00Nevermind.
