My Biggest Fans

I hope one day my kids trace their fandom back to the time in 2017, when their mom took them to their first college football game.

My son loves to tell people he watches football with Mommy. 

I was a sports reporter for 10 years before I had children. Although I ended up with two boys, I had no intention of forcing them to be sports fans simply because they were boys—they would be free to develop their own interests, just as I was.
