HST seemed much more concerned with pro football v. college.  Just sayin.

Now that I am a father, I am having the opposite experience.  I understand your point...that time seems shorter now.  But for me, things that once mattered so much, like the outcome of games that I cannot control, matter much less.  I am so focused on my son and his well being and his future that little else matters.  Of course, when he's old enough, we'll be cheering for old Penn State and tailgating like champions.  But the score just won't mean as much to me.  Spending time with him and explaining the finer points will be my focus.  His fun will be my fun, if that makes any sense.
