Cowboys 4-3???????

Does anyone know what the hell is up with the Dallas Cowboys? Because I don’t. We have a powerful offense and not a shabby defense, but we are not winning. We have lost two in a row, which is way too many. Today we lost to the St. Louis Rams who are one of the worst teams in the NFL and had one of the worst performances that I have seen. But I’m sticking with my Cowboys to win the Super Bowl this year; this team has the rawest talent and will dominate. Now to more of a local subject, we won our second straight game by beating the University of Montana Western Bulldogs. Good job Diggers! My shoulder is a lot better, and I started again this weekend. The game started out with us going up 17-3 in the first half. We talked at half time and told ourselves that we weren’t going to let them back in the game, but that’s exactly what we did. Everyone blinked, and the score was 17-17. Our team looked like Western did in the first half. Our defense made a couple stops, and then our offense put the game in the history books by driving down the field and scoring one more time and then eating the clock up with us big men up front. After the game, I road back with my parents, which is always more comfortable than the bus. My parents came down Friday night and left this afternoon. Like always, it was nice seeing them and having them around to talk to and hang with. So I’m getting really excited for HUNTING SEASON TO START this coming Sunday. I don’t know where I’ll be hunting at, but I will be hunting somewhere. Well, this week is just like many others with tests, school, football and life LOL!! Have a great week everyone.

First Snowing!!!!

Hello my loyal blog readers. I’m writing this from the warmth of my house while sitting in my lazy boy chair watching the San Diego Chargers beat the hell out of the New England Patriots. This to me is a great thing, because I despise the Patriots, mostly because of Tom Brady and since they are always too good. Well to stay on subject, we won this weekend. We beat Eastern Oregon 13-10 in a very closely battled game. Unfortunately, I didn’t play this game because of my shoulder being injured. I really don’t know how I hurt it, but all I know is that I couldn’t pick up my left arm above my head or even put pressure on it. So I had the best seat in the house for our team’s second win of the season. It was a freezing cold game with lots of that white stuff. So we can officially say that our first snow of the season has come and that it didn’t come secretly. It’s been snowing here for a couple of days now. The snow isn’t sticking really, but it’s still freezing cold outside. Abby didn’t make it down this weekend for my football game, but that’s okay, because she was in Helena with her family for her brother’s birthday. My parents came down Thursday for the Scholarship Banquet at the mall here in Butte, and then they stayed till this afternoon. Well this week should be busy, like always, but at least this week will have snow on the ground to spice things up.

Grilled Cheese Dipped in Applesauce!

So on the day of our game it was raining and overcast outside, which usually are the ingredients for a sloppy game, but the field conditions weren’t that terrible for our game against the Northern Lights. So we lost our game against the Northern Lights, if you haven’t heard. We lost 16-9, which is a heartbreaker for our Digger team; we aren’t going to give up this season even though our season isn’t going as we hoped it was. I started once again against the Lights. I feel like I played a pretty good game but I did jump offsides, so on Tuesday I will have to run a full gasser after practice. After the game my parents, sister and her boyfriend Vance, aunt, grandfather, and Abby came over to my house to eat tacos. It was fun to have everyone over and to get to talk with them and watch football. Everyone didn’t stay long, and then my parents and sister made their way back home to Helena so they could move into their new apartment. Last night Abby and I walked down to some of my buddies’ house and watched football and ate some pizza. We stayed there until around 11pm, and we both were so tired that we decided to come home and hit the hay. Sundays for me usually entail watching football and checking my fantasy football team. This Sunday was the first Sunday that we have not had to practice. We only had film, so it was nice. Abby and I made grilled-cheese sandwiches with tomato soup (of course I dip my sandwiches in applesauce, which probably most of you think that it’s gross, but don’t hate on it till you’ve tried it). Tomorrow I have to lift, go to school, and watch film, so I have a pretty busy day, but NO practice will be a nice break in the action. Well I’ll check back in with you all later this week!!!!!!

The Northern Lights are Running Wild in The Land of The Midnight Sun!

So the Northern Lights are running wild in the land of the midnight sun according to Coach Green. Northern seems to think that this game is going to be a blow out in their favor for some reason. On some internet site they seem to think that our Offensive line is terrible, and Northern’s Defensive line seems to think that theirs is the best. This weekend is supposed to be rainy and cold, so this game will be interesting. Abby is on her way down for the weekend to watch me play football, and my parents are doing the same. So is it just me, or does your week go as fast as mine does? It seems like I just played a football game yesterday, and now we have another one tomorrow. So great news everybody! The Sunday after Thanksgiving I will be going to see AC/DC in Seattle unless we make the playoffs in football (which I hope we do). Well nothing really exciting happened this week, so Ill chat with you later!!!

We Must Protect This House

Hello my loyal blog readers. This blog is coming from our local library, which makes me bring up my next subject. I’m probably in the library around three days a week, give or take a day. So I’m sitting in the library last night, and I take a break from procrastinating with my Business Ethics paper. I’m looking around, and I see three different people on their cell phones texting. This makes me laugh and think about how people come into the library for many different reasons. Some are to get away from distractions and to get work done, yet people bring their cell phones with them, because let’s just say that texting is not just something we do, it’s a way of life these days. Now I’m guilty of this as well, because I bring my cell phone into the library even though I want to be focused and get work done. Think about if you do the same. Really, think about how many texts you send in a day or about when you’re texting in class instead of paying close attention. Has texting taken over our lives? Well, now that I got that out in the open I feel much better. Well we traveled to my home town yesterday to play the Carroll College Saints and we lost. Well to sum up the game Carroll scored on the first play of the game but our offense charged down the field 81 yards and touched it off with a touchdown. Carroll scored two more times on us so at halftime the score was 7-21. We didn’t come out the second half like we did at the beginning of the game, our defense made some big stops but we couldn’t capitalize on them unfortunately. We have a good team but we just need to put everything together and play up to our potentials. Well we play the Northern Lights from Havre; they will make the long journey down to our house which we will defend. Well another week in school and life well check back in later this week!!!

Were coming CC!!!!!

Well this football season so far has not been exactly what everyone thought it would be, but the year is not even close to being over, and we aren’t going to give up. We have our rivals next, the Carroll College Saints, and they are number one in the nation. We are going to give them a run for their money, like every year, but this year is going to be different! So I sold my 1987 Ford pickup truck, and now I’m in the process of buying another vehicle. I don’t know what I want but something with good gas mileage. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like during the fall semester of school I just don’t really feel like school much. I don’t know if it’s because I’m so busy or the weather, but during spring semester I really like school and don’t feel so run down. Now don’t get me wrong, I love Montana Tech and everything, but my life is so crazy, and from football to homework I stay really busy. Being an athlete, a student and trying to have a social life is a very large load to have. My math teacher from last year and I were talking, and with many years of teaching athletes she has seen students have only two of the three and be successful at them. So if you haven’t heard, we lost last weekend in Billings to the Rocky Bears which Montana Tech hasn’t done in I think eight years. We stayed at the Billings Hotel which has a waterslide and the O-Line and I went down many times, probably too many times. We had around twenty football players go down the slide at a time making a huge train which probably wasn’t the safest thing to do, but it was at least fun. Then we would go down the other slide which was short and fast with all of us and make a wave pool out of the swimming pool which the littler kids seemed to enjoy, so it was all in good fun.

When you’re in a hole, quit digging!!!!!

This weather is driving me crazy. One day it’s 90 degrees, and then it’s raining for a week. That’s Montana for ya. Well, I started again for the Diggers this past weekend. Our opponents were the University of Montana Western Bulldogs, and we finally won a game (21-17). With our 0-2 record before this weekend, Coach Green kept telling us a simple saying: “When you’re in a hole, quit digging,” and that’s exactly what the Oredigger football team did on Saturday afternoon. Every game I get more and more relaxed and have more and more fun. This by far was my enjoyable game yet this year, because first we won the game, and second of all, it was at home with our KICK ASS crowd. Since my mom was already down here, my dad came down Friday night as did Abby, so my house was pretty packed. That night me and the rest of the offensive linemen went to the Montana Club for a pregame dinner and ate too much food. Saturday after we beat Western, I had most of my family over to my house for I guess what you would call a post-game social. We ordered pizza, and my little cousins ran around like chickens with their heads cut off. Then yesterday I watched my fantasy football and the NFL religiously, and around three, Abby headed back to Missoula, and I had football plus film. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about the career fair. I walked around being pretty nervous, I guess you could say, but I sucked it up and ended up getting an interview with Rio Tinto and thought it went very well. They had me sign up on their website and fill out an application so we’ll see what happens. Cross your fingers.
