I want to have some fun with this one. I've got a small problem. I have a daughter who is a junior at App. State, and a son who is a incomming freshmen at LSU. My daughter says that I should root for App. since she is the oldest and been there the longest, but my son will be playing baseball for LSU. What's a father to do? Help, got to keep the peace in the household, but what a great problem to have.

It all depends on which kid you love the most, with the only variant being which one you think will take care of you when you are old and crapping your pants.

You better root for App. St. in football and LSU in baseball. That way your covering both bases.

Cheer for the school of the child that receives the most scholarship aid.

App St. Losing to LSU, is expected. It would have no impact on their season. LSU losing to App. st. would destroy any hopes we had of a National Championship, in the first week of play no less.....Go for LSU.

Well Adam great question. I would say tradition first. ( he remember's watching LSU beat Miami for the World Series ). Then I would say a tie between Coach M, and the campus. I can truthfully say that after visiting many schools and seeing everything that they had to offer, when he arrived at LSU he fell in love with the campus and the city. He has been blessed to play at and visit many fine schools, but LSU stood out by far. I know he looks forward to his arrival there and the chance to play for such a great school.

Adam there are of course more reason's ( mike the tiger , the food, the tailgating, playing in front of many great fans.) but I don't want to hog the board.

thanks for the great response. I'm sure both of you are excited about what he is about to embark upon at LSU. I only hope the best for him as he comes in competing for an infield position. I know he is a great defensive player and will find himself in the mix next year.

I think you've answered your own question.

Why don't you call Archie Manning, and ask him what he does when the Giants play the Colts. It's got to be a dream and a nightmare all at the same time.

Turn it into something to benefit yourself. Tell 'em that the one who can do the most to make you a happy dad, from now 'til gametime, is the winner. And that team will get your support
