I never really understood it. About the time I thought I was beginning to understand, they would call a fowl on someone for what I had just seen another do and not get called. When I was in High School my team was "The Texhoma Red Devils." I played in our band, so we played at the midtime break every game. I do love Baseball tho. Favorite team is the Astros, tho they have traded so many of the ones I loved, I hardly know any anymore.

My response? ... "Play what?" That was in 1975. I ended up taking a CLASS on football taught by one of the team coaches and it really did change my life for the better. It was great fun (we got to run plays on the field) and I was enabled to enjoy the fellowship that happens here around Nebraska football. It's never too late to learn something new. Thanks for this insight into the history behind the sport, Martha!

I grew up with sports loving dad and grandfather and then married a high school basketball player, then had three sons who played football, basketball and baseball in their childhood and high school years. Middle son played in the band. So, I didn't have much choice...like sports or miss a large part of sons' youth activities.Martha W.

I was a cheerleader. Football games have blared from our tv all of our 52 years of marriage. All seven of our grandsons have played football from junior high on. Some were excellent, and were recruited by colleges, and some were pretty bad. This season we have two great-grandsons playing football and spend a good part of our Saturdays at the football field.<br /><br />We are huge Baylor football fans and our grandson, Evan, is also this year a part of the Baylor Line.<br /><br />From time to time one of my lady friends will be with us at a game or when a game is on tv and, after realizing I'm not really paying attention to their conversation, will comment, "Oh! You are really interested in watching this game aren't you?" LOL!! Yes, I really do like the game and usually find myself easing toward the male conversation about a team or a play.<br /><br />Thanks for your research on the history on the sport. And, BTW, hope to see you again at Baylor Homecoming this year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743799607103669916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-8088256278825275052014-09-11T06:36:32.675-04:002014-09-11T06:36:32.675-04:00Because of my husband, I do watch football.
