starting off...i'm pumped that the phillies will be winning the world series tonight. it serves the devils right for beating boston. also, code blue tonight for the titans game! i'm already wearing my light blue polo/long sleeve tshirt combo at school. calico jersey's going on as soon as i get home. GO TITANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! biggest game in titans history since super bowl xxxiv. only this time we're gonna DOMINATE!!!!!
so my weekend consisted of this
schs lost on a last second failed two-point conversion
vandy got smoked by duke (sure, it was only 10-7, but that's getting smoked when you play duke as badly as vandy did)
ut got destroyed (which i didn't really mind, they're not ranked, and bama's better anyway)
and some random nfl stuff
so really, all either disappointing or merely trivial games. didn't even care that i was watching the london game...didn't realize that that was this week anyway...guess it's always raining there...cause it was a pretty sloppy game last year too if i remember correctly. commish goodell wants a nfl team in europe i disagree...eight teams would have to travel oversees one week and one team would have to travel overseas eight weeks. so i dont think thats a great idea...sorry comish.
fall fest at church yesterday...nothing too extravagant, but i liked it nonetheless. think i forgot to mention in my last blog that i'm not too excited about the choir tour show this year, and we STILL don't know where we are going on tour! we performed a really cheesy song from vbs yesterday during the service...everyone in the congregation loved it...i can't stand it. but anyway, this week's gonna be normal outside of the game tonight...i'll get another blog out thursday maybe....

quick blog
titans are 6-0!!!! after dominating kc 34-10 with over 300 yards rushing, there is no doubt that the titans are once again the best team in the nfl. chris johnson and lendale both had career long td runs in the fourth, and i don't think the defense even tried like the last half of the fourth quarter cause we had such a demanding lead. so that's that point
next: vandy's dropped their last two, one expected, one not. this saturday's homecoming vs. duke, which i'm pretty sure we're gonna win. then we'll be bowl eligible for the first time in, well...quite a while.
got three a's and a b (chemistry) on my report card today, so i know what i need to work on.
backpacking was amazing. hiked in six miles and out six, so i was EXTREEMELY exhausted come sunday afternoon when i got home. other than that, not much more to comment on, so until next time...

a blocked punt! to beat the cowboys in overtime! and other football stuff
to start off, I CAN'T BELIEVE that VANDERBILT lost to MISSISSIPPI STATE!!!!!!!!!!!! that and the red sox going up 1-0 over tampa in the alcs were the only news i had this weekend, thanks to being in the middle of nowhere at an amazing retreat (more to come on that). so anyway, po'd in one way, elated in the other. after the vandy game, the next football i got was at 1:30 pm sunday...cause i fell asleep while i was unpacking...so i watched a bit of indy destroying the ravens...and then the new york titans (still cant get over brett favre in navy and gold) defeating the woebegone (retreat memory!!!) cincinnati bengals 26-14. here's what marv lewis was telling his boys in the fourth quarter:
ok, we're only down six points. the other team's driving...lets' hold 'em to nothing defense, but don't use any timeouts cause we'll need them later..."
after the titan's td:
"well, we're down twelve now, but we can still come back...just don't use more than one timeout...cause we'll need them later..."
for what? the week 10 bye???? neway, enough for that game.
next game: falcons-bears.
just another reason the bears aren't playoff-worthy again...yet. they should've been defending all the receivers double-teamed but jenkins was able to get the catch made and out of bounds with one second left. and then more elam heroics...but really that's commonplace now...bottom line: good game, fantastic ending, and can't wait to see the falcons make the playoffs (whenever they do). matt ryan is the new face of the falcons franchise. he's a better player and person than mike vick.
texans-dolphins.
matt shaub is the best qb to ever play for the houston texans. not only did he set a passing record for the texans, but he got the game winning score rushing. pretty sweet. good game again.
cowboys-cardinals.
awesome ending! and that play in the first quarter where romo lost the ball after being called down...totally a fumble. whatever the refs were thinking was wrong. so that was sweet
rams-redskins.
congrats rams on your first win. firing linehan was probably the best move they've made for a while.
red sox
game 3 of the alcs tonight. series tied 1-1 time to come home to boston. can't wait to see my boys win it all. go red sox!!!!!
retreat
it was awesome. started out friday evening celebrating joes' big 6-oh. connecting with friends was great. then we had a good night's sleep.
saturday was great. "boom chicka boom" started the day, then a lot of activities. tossed footballs, frisbees, and flying rings. lots of discussion, both religious and non religious. then went to the nursing home in dickson. guy with demientia told us a story...twenty times...it went kinda like this.
"God said i don't know what you stole, but whatever it is both of you, you and the thing you stole, wherever i am, both of you will be also. it's written in red, and i believe every word of it. and then i turned the page...and two women walked down buck nekked. and two minutes later, three more women walked down buck nekked. i had to put three cloths on 'em and take their shoes off. and i turned the page and one of 'em said well i don't want you to take my shoes off. and i said i don't care what you don't want, i've been demanded to take your shoes off and i'm gonna do just that. not later, but right now. and it was written in red and i believe every word of it. and then i turned the page and whatever you stole, both of you wherever i am you will both there be also..." and on and on it went.
so after that we went back to garner creek and hung out and ate some more, then bonfire, and matt christopher and i played an awesome game of apples to apples. the favorite word/phrase was "my body." the first green card we drew while christopher was in the shower was "sensual", and the first red card was "my body". it just continued from there. the best play though was on the green card "temperamental" and i put down the red card "women" great cause it was all guys playing and we shared the same sentiment. so that was fun.
sunday morning was worhip. then we left and got home, football, and today. got a shot and blood drawn. not fun, but it was necesary. had an awesome time playing with the birch babies allie and aubrey, and the eaton twins josh and andrew, and judy jones' granddaughter sarah. all little kids. but also enjoyed some quality time with the youth at the retreat: christopher, matt, lyndsay, jonathan, and tristan. and the youth leader from rehoboth philip. so it was all good. until next time.....

i now take some time out of my research....
i'm in the middle of researching for a 1,250 word paper due on monday...about the similarities and differences between...what else...college and pro football...and i'm taking a little break from my research to display some crazy trivia:
in 1935, the first heisman trophy winner's name was jay berwanger. did you know:
that in 1935, the trophy was called the Downtown Athletic Club's Trophy to the Outstanding College Football Player East of the Mississippi River? Can you imagine it: "And the 2008 Downtown Athletic Club's Trophy to the Outstanding College Football Player East of the Mississippi River goes to..." followed by the name of someone who went to school not east of the mississippi, instead in such a school as usc?
that Berwanger was drafted by the eagles, traded to the bears, asked for 25,000 for 2 years and never signed an nfl contract...his professional career was in salesmanship; foam-rubber was what he sold...now just imagine t.o. asking for 25,000 for 2 years today...and then selling foam-rubber!
how many of the top ten finishers for the 2006 heisman can you name?
i can't name all of them off the spot...but if i see a list, i can recognize alll the names and their schools.
i can probably do the same for '07...
and '08 and on will be easy...
because i'll be paying closer attention...
so this is my mid-research blog...
and by the way...the red sox are up 1-0 over anaheim...and i'll be rubbing it all over jonathan coca's face...
the end
