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

The Cry of Agony That Was Heard 'Round The World

.
ARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Wisconsin 25 - Michigan 27

And that after Wisconsin was ahead 19 - 0 at half.

My cousin Willie, FROM MICHIGAN, came by and watched part of the game with me.

I don't know if he'll ever come back after that or not!!!

I can't find my blog said...: Bummer. Sorry.

Tis is quite the day in football, eh?; September 27, 2008 at 8:29 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: OK all - - - if you will look at the post just before this one, you will see that even when WI was up 19 - 0 at half, I knew we were in trouble. Both sides were making too many mistakes. It was sloppy ball. I'm heart broken - - - but we lost. That's all I have to say about that.

Heart broken in Marion; September 27, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Anonymous said...: Mom you should be proud your team is part of history today. This game was the second biggest come back that Michigan ever had(19 points). The biggest come back they had was 21 points. Michigan didn't play sloppy ball, they played hard and came out on top.; September 27, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Keri said...: Kayla! I'm SOOO with you, Girl!!!; September 27, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Michigan played WORSE than sloppy ball in the first half.

They did improve in the second half - - - I'll give you that.; September 27, 2008 at 10:18 PM
Anonymous said...: i'd also like to add to the "making history post" by jason and point out that wisconsin was "19-0" for being up at half time and winning the game. NOT ANYMORE!!! i did find it ironic that AT half time the score was 19-0. and their record was 19-0. again, GO BLUE!; September 28, 2008 at 8:05 AM
Julie said...: Ok this is from my hubby, Ok? He said to tell you O-H-I-O.

He's trash talkin already. He may be sorry next week. :); September 28, 2008 at 2:01 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Well, one thing in OUR favor - - - you have to come to OUR house this time.

I'm worried about our QB position. He's a 5th year senior who is just now starting and I don't think he's skilled at these high pressure conference games.

We'll see - - - - -

The week after you we have Penn State coming in.

Yikes - - - three hard games right in a row.; September 28, 2008 at 3:04 PM
Keetha said...: That had to hurt. I'm terribly sorry. One of my teams lost (Miss. State) although they played well. Another one of my teams (Ole Miss) shocked everyone!; September 29, 2008 at 8:17 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: All I could see of the Ole Miss game were the highlights they kept showing - - - they didn't show that game in this area. But I saw quite a bit of the Miss. State game and you hung right in there.; September 30, 2008 at 3:30 AM
