Sorry...

Sorry Cougar faithfuls, I have not been keeping up on the updates. To summarize the last two weeks I believe I can use one word...WOW! We were successful in beating the Highlanders of MacMurray College on October 6, 2007. It did mark the first time on 15 years a Cougar football team had more than two wins. It also was the first time in 15 years that we had defeated the Highlanders.

While we were feeling good about the win, we knew we had a tough week of work ahead of us. It was Homecoming Week, and we were preparing to face our nemesis, Concordia University Wisconsin. My Alma mater. So despite some of the distractions, were were able to finish the week with a good day of practice on Thursday. I think it was sparked by me wearing my old CUW football jersey and clothing all day.

We played the Falcons extremely well for the first 30 minutes of the ball game. The score at the break was 3-0 Falcons. Unfortunately it is a 60 minutes ball game. It what seemed a blink of the eye, we found ourselves down 31-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter and 45-0 at the end of the game.

This week were are getting ready for Aurora University. For those that know about my days playing in the Illini-Badger Football Conference know that the Spartans were once a powerhouse. Going undefeated in conference during my sophomore through senior year at CUW. They are not the same team they once were. While they do some things very well (inside run, which we have a hard time stopping) they also are vulnerable in spots. The Cougar Coaching staff will have their hands full trying to find ways to stop them this week.

GO COUGARS!!!
