    Default I can't concentrate with all this football talk!

    Can't get no work done today!....between the rhetoric on the Low and my 8th grader's first game of the year vs. Marble Falls today, I'm a mess!...I think I got more jitters than he does!!....This mornin' he was like, "Take it easy dad, everything is gonna be all right! Take 1mg of Klonopin and you'll be fine!".........

    For those who don't know: Klonopin is used for the treatment of panic and anxiety disorders.....

    It gets worse and the excitement grows the older they get, at least it did for me!

    First game jitters as a parent must be intense.

    A business friend of mine told me a story yesterday. His son plays football at Iowa State on a scholarship. He's a freshman and #6 on the depth chart as a DE. He said at their first game, he had more butterflies than his son did even knowing his son wouldn't see the field. Just the pure excitment of his first game and being there to see him suited up and run out with the team. He said he didn't really remember much about the game. He kept watching his son on the sideline. lol Now that's a dedicated father.

    Yea this is kinda a bitter pill for me. I have coached him in all he has done since he was 4. First time I will be watching him play instead of coaching him.
