Carson has watched the Michigan-Indiana football game from mid-October about three times a week (at least). We have the Big Ten Network two-hour condensed version and I think he loves all the scoring excitement. He wants to watch this game more than he wants to watch the Notre Dame game from early September. It is funny and disturbing at the same time.
It’s getting more disturbing because now when he watches the game, he tells us what the next play is going to be. “Mom, mom! This is the hard hit by Taylor!” and right then Ramon Taylor lays out the Indiana receiver. Then he says “Ooooh! This is the short throw and long run by Jewemy Gallon!” and then Jeremy catches a lateral pass and goes like 40 yards. Then a few minutes later, Indiana has the ball back and Carson yells “This is where we sacked him!!!!”, while Michigan’s defense sacks the IU quarterback.
Oh, and coming home from school today, Carson told me the time was 3:36. And that Indiana’s punter is #36.
And last week he was working on his calendar and asked me the date. I told him it was November 24. Carson said “that’s Bennett”. I searched my brain to figure out who Bennett was because I’d never heard the name before. Carson told me it was Tim Bennett, and I thought some more and finally gave in. Then Carson said “it’s Tim Bennett, number 24 for Indiana”.
I really hope this means he will be a sports announcer instead of a football player. Wish me luck.
And to think you were worried a while back that he wasn’t talking soon enough…I told you not to worry. Lol.
Carson is smart and awesome!
It certainly seems it’s in the cards for him to attend SpecHoward….
