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

Monday = Football

Here we go again!!! Upsets and near upsets. That's the name of the game in NCAA football.

Some weekend highlights:

WHAT ABOUT EAST CAROLINA?????!!!! Last week the Pirates knocked off Virginia Tech (27 -22) and this week they embarrassed West Virginia, 24 - 3. Wow, this small Greenville, NC school is SERIOUS about their football!!!

Ohio State had their hands full with the OTHER Ohio school, only beating them 26 - 14.

Vandy put down the Gamecocks, 24 - 17 --- OK pundits, how do you like the SEC now?

Wake Forest, whose football program was known as "Weak Forest" only a few years ago took care of Mississippi (also an SEC school), 30 - 28.

Football power, Arkansas Razorbacks (also SEC) barely beat Louisiana Monroe 28 - 27. (Dare I say it? Louisianna Monroe?!?!)

And my son's little MAC school, Ball State took on the (entire) Navy and knocked them out of the water, 35 - 23.

I LOVE ME SOME GOOD NCAA FOOTBALL!!!!

holliedianne said...: And this KU fan just has to chime in and say we aren't in the top 25 for no reason! We beat our team 29-0, which even if they aren't the best team in the whole we did shut them out. :) I am a big sports fan as well!; September 8, 2008 at 8:48 PM
I can't find my blog said...: Yay football.

Keetha Broyles said...: Leigh and Holliediane - - - I do know about both of your schools and their successes on the FB field. I didn't mention them in THIS particular post because they were neither upset nor close to being upset.

Leigh- - - your TIDE crushed our Clemson Tigers last weekend.

Holliediane - - - LAST YEAR I marvelled at hour your Wildcats "came on." For a school that USED to be all about BB, they sure turned a corner in FB!!!!! I'm glad to see they are continuing to do well this season.; September 9, 2008 at 3:05 AM
Anonymous said...: Blake moved to Nashville in March of this year. He took a position at a bank. He has been out of college for 3 years. He had been the Ass't. Golf Pro at Meshingomesia Country Club since his graduation from Taylor. He was offered this opportunity at this bank & he had always wanted to move "south"...either to NC or TN. So, it worked out. He's gonna try following his father's footsteps in the banking career. HA !

He bought Vandy tickets because he loves college FB & not because Vandy is that great of a team, but because the teams that will be coming into town to play against V.
He knew there would be some good teams to watch.
He said the game the other night was an exciting one.; September 9, 2008 at 4:07 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Oh I KNOW it was exciting!!! I watched parts of it on TV, that was exciting enough!!!; September 9, 2008 at 3:51 PM
