I can't imagine how any kid of mine could grow up wanting to go anywhere else.
My house is loaded with UM ****.
One of my vehicles is UM green.
I never miss a game.
My dog wears a UM collar.
The kid would have green and orange **** in his face every day of his life.
You dress your child for at least the first 12 years of their life, right? His closet would be loaded with UM gear from the time he was born. That's at least 12 years of UM brain washing.
And I'm just a stupid fan.
Imagine what it would be like to be a prominent former player. That means the kid would have even MORE exposure to UM because I would be stopping by campus periodically, watching practice, going on the sidelines for games, etc etc etc... from the time he was born. (and he'd almost always be with me)
Part of me feels like if your kid grew up not loving UM then you probably weren't a die-hard fan yourself. You must have not represented UM very much.
Like 89% of what I liked growing up came from my dad's influence.
