.....if your a sports dad.

Gentlemen,

Many of you read a post I wrote prior to Rally IV about long snapping a football. Tonight, if you're sitting around with nothing to do and are a football fan, you can see my son play on national TV in high definition. At 7 p.m. Pacific time tonight, my son's Brophy Bronco football team (ranked #2 in Arizona) will play their number one rival, the Hamilton Huskies (ranked #1 in Arizona). The game will be broadcast live, coast-to-coast, as the Fox Sports Networks High School Game of the Week.

The Arizona channel for the Fox Sports Network in HD is 734, the channel may be different in different areas. If you have dish network, the channel is 686. If you don't have HD TV, you can watch the game on the standard definition Fox Sports Network channel.

My son Charley is #96 and the Broncos will be wearing RED. Charley will be long snapping the football on all punts, field goals, and extra points. He's in the middle of the line on both the kickoff team and a kickoff receiving team as well. If a starting defensive lineman gets hurt, Charley will also play defensive tackle.

Yeah, I know, I know, who the hell gives a rat's rear end about watching another's person's kid play football. Somebody might though. And I'm pumped up enough about it to let you know! :banana :banana :banana

In the photo below my son is #69, its last year's photo. He is currently #96.

I think I'm living vicariously through my son. Go Broncos!!!

Chip

Now that we know how to spot Charley, how do we pick you out of the crowd? what sort of interesting garb might you don to be noticeable in a big stadium. Inquiring minds want to know.

Being proud of your offspring is nothing to keep inside Chip. SHARE it with the whole world. Charley, even though I wont be able to see it. Play to the best of your abilities always. The GT Forum is rooting for you. :thumbsup

I guess Arizona HS football doesn't count in the Midwest. All I could get was St.Louis Blues hockey.

What a comeback! Despite the ending, that was the most exciting 2nd half I've seen in a LONG time! And #96 was looking great out there! Someone has reason to be a very proud Dad... :thumbsup :banana

21-24

Gentlemen,

An amazing game. Brophy went into the locker room at halftime down 21-0. With six minutes left in the fourth quarter they had come back and tied the game 21-21. Charley played a great game and all his snaps were on the mark. Too costly interceptions by Brophy in the fourth quarter gave Hamilton the ball with three minutes to go and they kicked a successful 40 yard field goal to take to win. Hamilton remains #1, Brophy #2.

I love my little boy.

Quite a comeback!

Given Charley's flawless performance, you must be a very proud father.

What really matters.

KJRGT,

MJ joined Veronica & I at last Fridays game. She just e-mailed me a photo she took that night that pretty much sums up what's most important in my life. Thanks MJ!

Yeah, in the 2nd half Brophy came back and dominated the game. Close but no cigar.
