show me up in front of my kid yesterday at the game.

Following tradition, I take my six year old to get a cougartail and give it to some opposing fans and welcome them to LES. Feeling like I'm a great father and won't my boy be talking about how wondeful I am at my funeral, teaching him by my example, etc etc

Then some guy with like ten cougartails on a tray comes along, handing them out to McNeese fans like they're taffy at a 4th of July parade or something. This was before the free ice cream and not part of that.

Pretty sure my kid, who for just a moment was thinking his dad was ten feet tall, now realizes that I am, in fact, just 5'4".

Add that to Cosmo's head flying off and I think my son came away from that game with the world looking a little less bright and joyful to his eyes, his heart grown a little older.
