Understand but ya never know.

Was 38 when I met my wife. Was stunned and uncomfortable when I found out after a few weeks that she was only 26. I was the one that had a problem with it. Glad I stuck with it. Be married 10 years next October with an awesome step son and 2 boys we had together.
I was 36 when I met my future 25 year old wife…. Shocked and stunned are not words I would use to describe the interaction. 😂Been married 13 years now.

Lol!

Just meant was hanging out with all people my age so just didn't know or really think about her being that much younger. Is a good thing because likely wouldn't be where we're at today had I known when I met her.

Maybe I was an ageist. 😆
 
Thank goodness for recording....remember back in the day when if you missed it you missed it for good unless you had cable and a VCR.
I remember at my peewee games every other dad had a radio head set so they could listen to the vols and watch their boys play. Good times!
 
We were very fortunate to get to play/practice at Cole Park Golf Course at Fort Campbell from my freshman year(88) to '91. When the Gulf War started, non military personnel couldn't get on base.
We got to play with several soldiers on weekends. They were so much fun to play with. Great times.

101 peeps def. have a fun/wild side. Mom always said my dad partied out of college and into the war - which he did. And of course this is a group known for jumping and rappelling out of helicopters. 🤣 He wound up making 1st Sgt. before all was said and done but there's a mystery I've yet to solve. Mom never mentioned anything about the Rangers but where he went to train lined up with them but of course back then 101 training was very similar to Ranger training. The Army at that time re-organized the Airborne and there was a lot of change going on. But when she was showing me one of his uniforms it had a Ranger patch -- I'd like to know the story behind that but mom doesn't know anything and he died shortly after I was born. I need to file a formal request for his records but I couldn't do that for the longest time.

My parents stayed in Dickson, TN when he was at Ft. Campbell. They absolutely loved the area and I've heard enough stories to know they had some wild times (which always blows my mind because my mom isn't the wild type but my dad def. was). When he was in HS and saw my mom who had just graduated (he was my aunt's age and 4 years younger than my mom), he had his entire family lie to her about his age so he could convince her to date him. I asked Mom, "didn't you think it was odd that he was your age but still in HS?" and she said, "well, he was a football player so I thought he was just you know..." 🤣
 
Love how fast the game is going now that the clock doesn’t stop on first downs. It’s really awesome to have less football. Thank goodness for all the endless tinkering with the greatest game in the world.
Games are lasting too long. Let’s cut game time instead of commercials, genius

The best part is they successfully was able to shorten the game without depriving us of any commercials. Everyone was always saying how they wanted to watch less football but less commercials would be a deal breaker. Can’t believe they actually listened to the consumer for once.
