Life before 2008 17 Sep 2006 06:10 am
We went to bed too early…..
We stayed up into the third quarter. 17-7 seemed like a safe enough score when we were yawning and loathing another short night of sleep. So off we took ourselves…..
And low and behold the final score was 21-20?!?! A close game in the fourth quarter and we stupid-heads missed it.
I’m sorry for Tennessee losing to the Gators two years running. Big bummer. Oh well, we’ll have to content outseleves that they go home to positively swelter while we enjoy this lather of Autumn glory.
On a side note, it was fun seeing Gator Tim Tebow on the field. I grew up with his older sister and they went to our church. They homeschooled and their mom, Pam, used to speak at our homeschooling conventions. Maybe she still does. Anyway, she used to share about the dreams and passions of her kids and where their gifts were. Tim’s dream for as long as I’ve heard his name, since he was a little guy, was to play sports. We’ve sort of watched his journey there and I have to say I get a little thrill and a lot of encouragement as a parent that he’s out there apparently LIVING his dream. Last night must have been a good night in that dream.

…on the other hand at our house, 4 boys and one mon hollered and cheered the Vols for hours. At 11:30 pm, as it was obvious that we were not going to pull this one out of the hat, that same crew was very somber and quiet.
How am I to comfort 4 overly-fatigued young men who have just witnessed the slaying of their wondrous Vols? I didn/t know how I would comfort them all. Fortunately, we all just fell into bed and slept off the shock.
Watch out next year Gators!
