When I Say “brown” I Mean Elk!!!

Hey everyone, well hunting season has officially started. Today wasn’t the “official” opening day since they changed the regular opening day from Sunday to Saturday. Right now I really down care for this rule change since I’m still playing football and I can’t hunt on Saturday’s during football season, which means that the elk are already spooked for us on Sunday. But after next year I will really enjoy this new rule because then I can hunt a full weekend. So today my father and I went out hunting, we didn’t see any “brown”, when I say “brown” I mean elk. We did though run across a wolf, it was mind boggling, we were on our way back from hunting and we had one run across the road on us, it was massive and looked like a German Sheppard. This was the first time I have ever seen a wolf in the wild, I still can believe that I saw one. One thing that really bothered me while hunting today was all the beer cans my dad and I picked up on the trail, I bet we picked up ten beer cans; I sure would like to punch the person responsible. First of all who drinks and hunts and second of all if you’re going to bring crap into the wild just bring it out. I’m not a “tree hugger” by any means but it’s just respect for our wilderness and the sport. On a liter not I would like to talk about something at Montana Tech, I would just like to thank Chancellor Gilmore on a job well done while he has been in power. I really enjoy talking with Chancellor Gilmore on occasion a lot and really respect his open-door policy that he has on campus with all of his students. Even though we are not a very large campus, Chancellor Gilmore always has time for the students; even if the task is something as silly as pulling raffle tickets for our football team on home-games for our football team. I would just like to thank Chancellor Gilmore for everything that he has done here at Montana Tech.

Nothing Like It!!!

Well happy Monday everyone, if there is such a thing. Well this last weekend went very good, first of all we got a win against the Western Bulldogs for our homecoming weekend and second of all, my mom and dad stayed the whole weekend, which I really like when they do. So this weekend I will be traveling up to Helena because the whole Frontier Conference is off this weekend, which means that we all have bye’s this weekend which also means that have some much needed rest to catch up on. While in Helena this weekend, I will be doing some fishing depending on the weather, but for sure will be sighting in my hunting rifle for this upcoming hunting season. I can’t wait for hunting season to start, hunting is just so relaxing, there’s nothing like walking through the woods during a cold winter morning while the sun is just waking up and is coming over the mountain across from you. If any of you are hunters you all know exactly what I’m talking about and if you’re not you need to try it sometime. Well everyone I hope you all have a great week…..

Well everyone it’s Friday, I love Fridays! I love Fridays because that means that the weekend is here and we no longer have to get an education for two whole days, unless our professors who don’t I don’t think understand the meaning of resting our brains, gives us homework. Well we play Carroll College tomorrow, for first place in the Frontier Conference. Our record against CC hasn’t been good for the past years, but there’s just something about this team, a breath of fresh air that I believe will make us prevail over CC. I would like to talk about the Eat Shit Carroll Shirts, well this year we had to take off the “Eat Shit Carroll” off our shirts, I don’t agree with this at all. Football rivalries are a great thing that can bring together a school; I believe that there are a lot worse things that we could do. A lot of people think that having that on our shirts is “classless” but I believe that it’s just a shirt. Other colleges with much more heated rivalry than our Tech Carroll have shirts that are way worse than ours. I feel like it really takes the fun out of the Tech Carroll game when rules are applied to what fans care wear and say to and at games. I don’t also get how that CC can tell other schools what not to wear to games when they have a terrible setup for their tailgating before games. Us the players have to run through their tailgate before every game many times and they yell things at us that are way way way worse than anything we could put on a shirt, they also in the past have pushed players on our team, but yet we can wear a stinking shirt. So on a lighter note, the game tomorrow is going to be crazy, I hear that there are going to around 10,000 fans for the game. Well everyone I hope you all have a safe weekend, if you’re going to the game please don’t drink and drive and always, GO DIGGERS!!!!!!

Big Win!!!

Hello everyone, well to start off we won last weekend up in Havre, Montana against the Northern Lights. It was a very hard fought game and our defense, simply played amazing and really picked our offenses slack up.

Well these past two weeks of school have been awesome, last week I only had school one day, since I don’t have school on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, last Monday was Labor Day so no school and then Friday we left early enough so I didn’t have to go to any classes. So this week we don’t have school on Monday and Tuesday because of the Economic Summit, yet again I don’t have school Tuesday and Thursday so I only have school on Wednesday and Friday this week, jeez what a life, (LOL).

So this week we play the Rocky Mountain Bears from Billings, they are on a little bit of a hot streak since they almost beat Carroll College and then beat Western last weekend, so they will be coming into Alumni Coliseum ready to play.

I don’t know about everyone else but I’m really getting excited hunting season to start up, I drew a cow tag in 335 which is up at the cabin we usually go to every hunting season. I really hope that I can get back up to Malta with Vance this hunting season to try and shoot another buck, I really enjoyed hunting out of a blind, and hunting dear is just really fun to do, especially after hunting elk and walking your buns off.

On a different note I would like to talk about something that I saw today that really bothered me, people who ride in the electric carts at stores and really don’t need them. There was a lady at Walmart today that I saw get up and walk perfectly fine all the way out to her car which was our further than my truck was. I saw this lady driving the cart around Walmart and she almost ran me over when I was grabbing something off the shelve. I got really mad about it because the isle was jam packed and she was weaving in and out of people and just didn’t wait until it cleared up and I wasn’t the only person who got mad about it this. Don’t get me wrong, I think that if people really need these carts because they are older or really need them, but when people are just lazy it really bothers me.

Big Game This Weekend!!!

Well hello everyone, I hope that all of your first weeks of school went great. So my school schedule this semester is AWESOME. I only have school on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays. I have four classes on those days so I have a pretty hefty load. So this last weekend we lost our first game of the season. Our defense played out standing, our offense on the other hand just couldn’t get things rolling for some reason. I personally think that up front with our offensive line, it was just chemistry; we have had a lot of injuries during camp which means a lot of younger guys have got valuable playing time, which means that our starters haven’t played a lot together this fall. So my aunt Debbie came down for my first game this past Saturday, she came down last Wednesday afternoon and stayed with me at my house until yesterday Sunday. On Wednesday when she got here we went out to dinner at the Hanging Five, then my mom came down Thursday and then we went out to Metals for appetizers. My house was pretty full this past weekend; I had my mom, dad, sis, Vance, April and my aunt Debbie, so there were beds everywhere, but it was sure fun having the family together since my family on both sides don’t have family reunions and such. So when I got back from Denver my shoulder mount of my deer was finished up when my parents got here this weekend they helped me hang them on the wall, so take a look. This weekend we play Eastern Oregon, last year they beat us here in Butte but we beat them in Oregon so it should be a great game. Well everyone, I hope you all come out and support us this weekend at Alumni Coliseum.

Doctor Love!!!!

Hey everyone, I know that it’s been a while since my last blog. So here goes, last weekend my mother flew down from MT so we could go to the KISS concert in Cheyenne days. KISS was AWESOME, they might not move around as well as they used to but, they can still rock and still kick ass and the played my favorite KISS song, "Doctor LOVE"!!!
So really I just don’t have a summer anymore, I came straight to work from school and then I’m going straight from work to football. Which leaves me know time for fishing and camping in the summers, but I guess that’s okay, since this summer probably has been the most fun summer I have ever had, with going to concerts and Rockies games and water parks and many other things that we just don’t have in Montana. So I’m done with my internship next Friday on August 6th, jeez how the summer has just flown by us. I feel like I just pulled into the parking lot of my hotel for the summer with my mom.
So football starts in 11 days, good thing I have been working out and running all summer. I’m really excited to start football again, just not excited at all to sleep in the dorms again. Coach Green has the whole football team sleep in the dorms during two-a-days, so he can make sure we got to sleep and then wake up in the mornings on time.
I’m Montana bound for tomorrow; I’m heading up to Sully’s wedding in Hamilton, Montana. I can’t wait to see everyone like Shannon and Sully and Wacy and the guys and April and my mom and dad. Well everyone I hope that you enjoy my KISS pictures from the concert.

There’s Nothing Like Good Old Montana Lakes!!!!!

Hey everyone I hope you all had a great 4th of July! So April came down last Thursday and left this past Wednesday, we had a lot of great adventures. On Friday afternoon we went to Elitch Gardens which is a water/theme park, we didn’t like Elitch Gardens as much as we liked Water World. Friday night we went to the Rockies game which had fireworks after and to put it simply, they were the best fireworks that I have ever seen in my life, they put Disney Land to shame. Saturday was the Denver Zoo day, it was really cool seeing all of the different animals, except they had wild horses, and its like really people come on there horses, we have tons of them in Montana. Saturday night we went to Dave and Busters which is always fun and this time we ate dinner there and did a lot of gamming. I was talking with my mom and I told her that she wouldn’t have been able to handle me when I was little if we went there (LOL). Sunday, the 4th of July was a really beautiful day until it started to freaking rain like nobodies business; this was the first 4th of July that I have not shot off fireworks, what a sad day! On Monday April and I went to a reservoir about ten minutes from my place, and lets just say that it was terrible. On a not very large body of water there were probably around 200 boats. I found out that on the water there’s a speed limit of 45 MPH, I have never heard of such a thing, also to swim in the water you have to swim in the “swimming” area which is about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. There was a whole beach to swim on and they make you swim in a 20x20 swim area. So let’s just say there’s nothing like good old Montana lakes. Tuesday night April and I went to the Rockies, we left in the 7th inning because the Rockies were down 7 runs so we decided to leave and wouldn’t you know that the Rockies would end up coming back and winning the game in the 9th inning with a walk off home run and we missed it, JUST GREAT!!!!! Well everyone I hope you all have a safe and good weekend!!!!
