Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian leads his team onto te field ahead of the game against Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023 in Dallas, Texas.

My son’s 5th grade football game against their bitter rival THE SCARLET WARRIORS conflicts directly with the Texas-OU game. The Scarlet Warriors parade up and down the Front Range like they own the state and they must be taught a lesson. They lie on birth certificates, bribe referees and they dress out 14 year olds.

Actually, the Scarlet Warriors are not their rival, they’re probably nice kids and whichever 5th grade team doesn’t fumble six times will probably win, but I’m trying to raise the stakes here.

Kickoff coincides with Texas-OU and I’m driving my son an hour each way to get there because all youth sports now require time investments comparable to learning Farsi, Korean and what triggers the AMT.

So what’s the move?

Turn off every electronic device to avoid the dozens out of context texts I’ll get that range from: “Why would we call that?” to “Ha ha Sooner idiot” to “That’s not even targeting! WTF.”

Do I snatch glances at ESPN Gamecast and live and die with every screen refresh?

With either decision, I’m rewatching at home immediately after, but is the move to self-sequester or pragmatically accept that my curiosity will win out and make the best of it?

I will abide the board’s decision.
