My son is 8 years old, and of course he's subjected to watching me worship at the altar of Fightin' Irish Football.
This past season was his first in football, as he played in a flag league for the little guys. He's a fairly decent athlete - not the best on his team - but he was named the quarterback because he has a good head for remembering and executing the plays.
After the season was over, I made myself a little highlight reel that I keep on my desktop. I've never really shown it to anyone except immediate family because it's something I wanted to have for myself.
Recently, however, I thought it'd be fun to put it in a package with a cover letter and his second grade report card and send it to Early Admissions at Notre Dame. I think it's funny, but my wife just keeps pointing out that I'm disturbed... Anyone who saw my meltdown after the '05 game against USC would certainly agree.
Anyway, seeing as how you guys are the only ones I know who truly appreciate what it is to live and die with the Irish, I put the video on some of my webspace, and if you'd like, you can check it out. It's at:

It's about 7 Megs in size, so a broadband connection will zip through it. If you're on dial-up, it's probably better to right-click and "save as". - My son is #0 in maroon.
