Nostalgia of Friday Night Lights

I often go with a couple of buddies to high school football games in our area.

 Last week we were having a few beers after the game, and one of my friends got very nostalgic and introspective. He admitted that one of his biggest pleasures in watching high school football was that he felt the absolute best times and memories in his life was when he was a boy  himself on that field playing high school football. He described that watching these boys on the field takes him back to those most memorable experiences, apparently this was both on the field and in the locker room. He said these kids are probably building memories like he once did. In closing, he described his team as “the best and closest friends I ever had.”


As a regular reader of this blog, what he said made me realize the reason I enjoy reading about private encounters that your readers had with other boys when they were young, also brings me back to those exciting experiences I had as a boy. Like my friend, we are sort of re-living those great times long past in our lives by watching (or in my case, reading about) other boys having those same experiences.
