Saturday's Just Got Better

College football starts today. I know many of you don't follow football. I don't watch NFL any more, for many reasons. But my son Dustin was a huge college football follower, and I am carrying on his tradition. Dustin was an Alabama fan. I still have his t-shirts, which I often wear, and his favorite cap he wore almost every day is in one of those enclosed display cases on the wall. I look at it every single day. So, today Alabama plays their first game. I will be thinking of Dustin even more as the game starts later. Good memories. One of the last photos taken above at age sixteen.

That's a nice tradition to continue. I don't follow college football. Not really a big thing in the northeast

Beautiful tradition Carol. I bet Alabama will win today! If not, they're already winners just because your son was a fan of them!
