Looks like there won't be a hat trick today.

JD's team braved the dark, cold morning to play football today. Standing at the gate at KWU's Martin Stadium at 7:00 AM it was 44 degrees. The bad thing is, most of the boys didn't wake up until 8:30 -- the game started at 8:00. They played well enough to only be down 6-0 half way through the second quarter. Then they woke up and won their second game of the season 13 to 6. JD played well, even hurt a kid. He pancaked his guy at the line and then continued 25 yards down field to block for the running back. He clocked a kid that never saw him coming.

At 12:30, Kaylee's soccer team took the field at the Y. We were playing a team that had already beat us twice this year, but they were playing back-to-back games today. This team had beat us 5-0 and 2-1 this year. We had only scored two goals all season. But thanks to their exhaustion, we were able to score two and win 2-0. The girls were excited to say the least, I was even happier.

Unfortunately, :47 before halftime, it looks like there won't be a hat trick today. The 'Cats are stinking the place up at Colorado. We can't run, we can't catch, we can't throw. On top of that we can't stop the pass, can't stop the run, and can't make a field goal. The defensive problems have plagued them all year, but the offenses usually bails them out. Unless they come out motivated after half, it looks like the 'Cats are well on their way to a 4 and 3 record. Hope they wake up...
