Late Start + Close Game = Tired Fan

Last night was a scary game for KU fans.  We had a lot on the line.  Longest home winning streak in the country at 63, ranked number 4 in the country,  undefeated, PAC 10 vs Big 12 Challenge, the hype of two basketball programs dripping with tradition on national TV, and KU's first real test at home this season.

Hudson is a fan but doesn't have the attention span to last an entire game, plus the game started at his bed time.

Every morning after a game I give him a rundown of how the game ended up (while changing his diaper or hanging in bed) and we wait for the highlights to come on Sportscenter.

He always smiles but doesn't understand a word I am saying.  Just that it must be really important if Dad is telling me all of the details.

Hud, Nicole and I will have many memories surrounded by KU basketball and football.  Some will great experiences and some very disappointing (those usually take place in March or early April).  The thought that gets me excited the most is that we are going to get to experience them together, as father and son, like my dad and I did (and still do).

It won't be long until going to games means 3 tickets.

Very much looking forward to that day.

Off to more adventures (oh, and Rock Chalk).
