In all of my (my kids’) interactions with guys on the team, they’ve all been very gracious, and I just want them to succeed for them. Yes, I’m enjoying the ride too — don’t get me wrong. But the older I get, the more I see them as just college kids… and while I want them to win, I’m mostly just glad that they can be an inspiration to my kids and give me another excuse to cheer for the Big Orange.
I know they put a lot of pressure on themselves, and there’s no escaping that. But I hope they feel more support than pressure from fans… it’s not everybody, but I think there are a lot of people like me out there.
