Chris, when you said "Montgomery County" you piqued my interest. I have a cousin who just retired from the county rec department this summer. From what he has said about what the county rec department does, you must have some mighty fine highschool teams. 'Course, this happening in the richest county in the nation!
Chris, that sucks about the state game. Doesn't really help to give a positive attitude to the kids in school.
I had a few guys that I tended to really **** off during a game too. If there was no nose guard, I'd always go after the middle linebacker. Those guys were shocked to all of a sudden have some guy in their face. I put a few of them on their backs too, then help them up after the play was over. We had a pretty quick running back, and the linebacker may have gotten in on the tackle, but not before I was at least able to slow them down and get our backs another couple yards. It was fun...would cause the defense to have to play shallow, then we'd drop a deep bomb on them. Our coach was more of a ground pounder though, so we stuck to the running game the majority of the time. He'd always say 4 yards at a time on every play. That made it seem pretty easy, and we'd just march our way down the field 3-4 yards at a time...of course we had some big plays in there too when the backs broke a tackle and took off.
I miss football a lot though. Loved the game. I wanted to walk on at Mizzou when I was in college, but figured at my size I'd have to learn a whole new position and didn't know how that would work out. I never counted on game time, but at least being able to practice would have been fun. Looking back, I wish I would have at least tried and gone to talk to the coaches. I wonder if there's a rec league that has full contact football? Now that could be fun!

I wish I could have played in college too, but like Brandon I got hurt. I played through a sprained ankle senoir year and it hasnt been 100% ever since.
What about younger guys?

Um, I dunno, it depends. I don't think I've ever dated a guy that wasn't at least a few years my elder. For me is a maturity issue. I like men who take charge, take care of business - all in a calm, respectful, knowledgable manner. Younger guys usually haven't learned how to do that yet. Most men my age and younger are into partying and being crazy and rebellious, and spend more time trying to avoid responsibility than managing it. Maybe I'm an old fart at heart. Stability and strength are extremely sexy.
There are also some phsyical attraction preferences that play into this.
Maybe you weren't looking for a serious answer to that. Cris knows what i'm talkin 'bout.
Not as though you don't have those qualities, Chris. You seem pretty ontop of things.
They do. It's called Old Chicago. They boast like 1,000 kinds of beer and their menu is nothing but pizza and calzones.

Aww comon! I had some coffee I feel better. This morning was one of those mornings I just DID not want to get up.
Also Mattie woke me up a few times last night, she was protesting and making sure I knew she was uncomfortable.
She pooped in her doggie bed, so I threw it away. She now gets to sleep on the floor, on a blanket. She circles and circles and circles and finally lays down and then groans like an old woman. Thats what you get for poopin in your bed!

She turned 6 in June. I just rescued her in April. Remember my "what kind of dog should I adopt" thread?
She's potty trained, but extremely stubborn, and she knows potty inside drives me crazy, so she does it as payback.
I'm trying to show her that such things can have negative consequences for her as well.
