NCAA Football: The Boy vs. Dad – Game 4
MICH 26 – OSU 45
This game was a rout from the first kickoff. The Boy didn’t realize how potent this offense was (at least in a video game) until his WR #4 returned the opening kickoff all the way back for a touchdown. From that point until the end of the game, he referred to him as ‘Grease Lightning’. I was already annoyed. Coupled with the fact we were in the horseshoe, it was 30 degrees and snowing heavy and none of my receivers could hold on to the ball. Oh wait, this was Michigan. I forgot how sorry they were last year. However, it was a rivalry game, and anything could happen. Right? Then I found myself down 17-0, but I didn’t give up hope. To my son’s chagrin, I just stopped kicking to #4 and took my chances on defense while playing safe on offense. Didn’t matter, WR #4 touched the ball like seven times and scored eight, a mathematical impossibility, but it happened. To insure there would be no comeback, he injured my starting quarterback…and running back. Game over. I was blown out. Thanks Rich Rodriguez. Coach Dad gets demolished.
This game puts the score overall at Boy 2 – Dad 2.
