Joe was struggling not to cry as we left his game on Saturday morning. Not only had the Colts lost 40-0, but Joe was Singled out for not wearing his mouth guard during one of the plays so he will be running extra laps at Tuesday's practice. Bummer, I know, but last year he got the team penalized at least 8 times for not wearing his mouth guard. I hope he remembers in the future. I hope the team can pull it together and do better in the future. But I can honestly say that the team did not lose because of the mouth piece penalty.
The Navy game was a good game. Navy lost, but only by a few points. The prediction was that Navy was going to lose by 50 points against Ohio. I think the game showed just how well Navy can compete against the big guys. Navy only has a student population of 4000. I think Ohio State has 40,000. And Navy was playing at Ohio. John wanted to go, but there was no room on the boat to Columbus. Since Megan and Chris are from Michigan they know all of the anti-Ohio State sayings. We texted them to John during the game so that he would feel our solidarity with him. Some of the appropriate sayings were, Fried Buckeyes taste Like Chicken! Ohio State fans can't read this text. There were some really inappropriate sayings coming out of Michigan. What insulting phrases rhyme with Buckeyes? Put a 50,000 geniousy Michigan fans on that task and you can come up with the t-shirts you might see at the Big House.
Fortunately, Michigan creamed Western Michigan. Maybe the Wolverines are crawling out of the hole they were in last season.
Bob, Chris and Joe were so happy about getting to go to the BYU-OU game. What an incredible win! Number 20 BYU defeating Number 3 OU. No paper bags neccessary. Cougar pride is alive. I am glad I didn't sell those tickets so that Megan and I could have more to spend on our shopping trip.

Sorry about Joe's game. That's too bad. Win or lose there are always lessons to be learned from the experience. Glad your other teams did so well! The BYU game was pretty amazing!
I'm still not convinced that Michigan is any good at all. If they were decent I wouldn't be able to make fun of Yenior for being a fan of losing teams. I think Joey might be convinced to wear his mouth guard if I told him a story about a Marine who got his face blown off in combat because he wasn't wearing his mouth guard. Those are the kind of stories they told us during Plebe Summer when they wanted to make a big deal out of something that really isn't that crucial. "What? You forgot to tuck in your shirt? What if you forget to shoot the enemy before they shoot you?!"
