MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Ever wonder what it’s like to be the father of the quarterback?
Sure, there’s recognition, a measure of prestige. That’s my boy out there. My boy, the one who just threw another TD pass. The flip side? Plenty of anxiety, lots of fretting.
Matt Rush wouldn’t trade it for anything.
“I get pretty emotional,” said Rush, the father of Central Michigan quarterback Cooper Rush. “I feel every snap.”
As does every parent who has sat in the stands watching his or her son or daughter in any athletic arena, be it youth-league soccer or the professional level.
