Sports Ticker.....

Okay....it's the end of the football season and here's a review. In the beginning it was good....well except the Northern Iowa game which was a little sketchy....and the Washington game....whew...weren't they a great team?? (just in case you didn't know Washington didn't win a game all season) The wins over a not so great UCLA team and Wyoming were exciting....finally a little football. In my opinion...that's when we got a little too cocky. The rest of the season was riddled with unnecessary mistakes. Now....I don't want to criticize too much. I really to think this season was a step in the right direction. If nothing else it gives our team motivation to improve next season. The loses to TCU and Utah were painful but needed. I now compare this to real life. Sometimes we just float along in life....events occur where we have to suddenly snap out of it and actually do something to help ourselves out.....and sometimes that waking up comes a little too late. I still love BYU football and I always will. I still think Bronco Mendenhall is a great coach and more importantly an outstanding individual. His priorities are what BYU football should be about. Let us as fans rally around him and the team....and help them reach their potential....

Check up....

Well it's been a few weeks since I last wrote.... Barack Obama is the new president and the now infamous (is that like super famous?? if you don't know it look it up) Proposition 8 passed and all in all the world hasn't totally fallen apart. I wish I had some awesome story of everything that has happened the past few weeks....but I don't really. I went to Ohio to see my newest neice be blessed. This time two of my sisters came along, which was a lot of fun. I definitely haven't spent a lot of time with them without their children and husbands seeing as I was like 11 when that all started. School is still school. It's a lot of work.....well stats is a lot of work the rest is the normal amount of schoolwork. I'm ready for Thanksgiving....a chance to once again step into the brown desert that I call home. Oh....I just remembered something kind of exciting. As those who have talked to my mother about the quality of the apartment I live in I must talk about some recent improvements to the complex. There used to be these cage-like edifices that were in front of the apartments... I am pleased to report that those are now gone. We've upgraded apartment status from Mexican prison to just plain Mexican ghetto.....awesome......
