I think we’ve all been waiting for this. Plus, it almost completely eliminates my urge to puch Kurt Cobain in the head.

Apparently all I post about here anymore is football. If you want any other insight from me you need to be my friend on Facebook. There needs to be a way to automagically get shit I post on Facebook to slide over to my blog instead of the other way around. Fuckers!

Anyway…

One of the neat little things they do for the kids across the entire football league is let them pick nickname. Then your child is announced as “First Name, Nickname, Last Name” at the beginning of the game and during the game it allows for some creativity with the announcing. For the record, this year my son is “The Viper” after two years of being “The Cyclone” – he’s feeling more agressive and less whirlwindy, I guess.

Another neat thing most of the clubs do is make up a little intro CD for the beginning of the games. Basically some song that expresses your attitude with a voiceover announcing the cheerleaders and players and they each individually run onto the field. Makes it fun.

The first year my son played, our team’s intro music was this:

Which was pretty cool. Add the announcer voice and these little boys running onto the field and it was cute.

Last year we were supposed to have one made but apparently there were problems and the person they had gotten to do it kept blowing them off. We went the whole season with the announcer just reading a list of the kids names. It was kind of ghetto, but somehow as the season went on and we did so well, it became cooler. Like we’re all walk and no talk. I learned to like it.

This year I’ve already overheard the coaches and team moms talking about making sure they have a CD in time. Not sure who really decides on the music, but I suspect it isn’t going to be particularly cool and most likely “suburban edgy” – for example one suggestion I overheard was “AC/DC” – Ugh.

I guess I’ll find out on Sunday what our intro tune is. My choice (and it’s a tad cliched and I’ll bet we hear at least two or three other teams use it this year) would have been:

…because, face it, the kids coming out to that would be totally kick ass. I need to become some sort of team coach or dad or mom or volunteer so I might have some say in such things.

For the record a close second choice would be:
