Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

It's HERE!!!!!

.
Is your heart going "pitty-pat" this morning?
Is the blood rushing through your veins?
Are there excitement butterflies in your stomach?

THERE SHOULD BE!!!!! It's College Football Season and we're off and running on the gridiron!!!! I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

Already, after just the first evening of games, the old WE WANT PLAYOFFS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL monster is rearing his head.

And well he should.

Last night non BCS Boise State knocked down the BCS Ducks. If Boise State now runs the table, shouldn't they have the chance to at least enter a playoff and vie for the #1 title?

Methinks YES.

President Obama thinks YES.

But the BCS Big Boys, who hold all the power cards, think NO.

Ah well - - - I for one am STILL going to sit in my favorite chair in front of my favorite wide screen TV every Saturday from now until the bowl games in January and enjoy me some FOOTBALL, 'cause I am READY!!!

But, I'm am very happy that you are so excited about it all. Hope your team always wins! Enjoy!!!; September 4, 2009 at 7:51 AM
