Can You Say GO COUGARS!!!

Woke up to a cloudy morning!! Little bit of rain overnight. Not really what you would call rain, but the pavement is wet!! Now it's starting to clear up, so we'll have to wait another time for rain or snow!!

Well, the UNM Lobos lost another football game. They played Nevada yesterday and lost 31-24. The game was tied up near the end but the Lobos just couldn't keep Nevada from scoring and they couldn't get to the end zone, either. Oh well, at least they haven't lost games that are outrageous. I mean like 70-0. They lose close games so that's good. Maybe next year they will do much better. The media better not start talking bowl games too early in the season, like they did this year. Once bowl games came up, the Lobos have lost their games. Shame on the media!!! They blew it for the Lobos!!!  ;)
Now for the Cougars (BYU). I love, love, love the BYU channel. They show lots of the sports events so I don't miss much. I've been following the Women's Soccer team. Trying to figure the game out and this was one way to learn the sport. I just never understood the game, even when I was in school and we played the game. It's like you just kick the ball and others try to get it away from you. Then you get kicked by those people after the ball. That's not fun. Now, I've been watching the team play and those ladies know how to play!! They became the #1 seed for the NCAA Tournament. They've played their games in Provo, Yay!! Well, they've won their games so far. Last night they played Marquette. What a game. It was so exciting to watch. I even got the other members of the family watching. It went into OT but no score. Then it went into a second OT, still no score. Now the penalty kicks came up. After the 5 kicks by both teams, it was tied 3-3! Now they had to send up the next few players for a shot and then Marquette kicker kicked the ball over the net. Now it was up to Kayla Varner and she made the shot that gave the game to the Cougars. First time the team made the Elite Eight since 2003. Their next game is November 23. Hopefully they go all the way and win the whole thing. They are awesome.
The football team played against San Jose State. And they came out losing that game. They had a chance to go ahead and win but it wasn't meant to be, I guess. They fumbled the ball and SJS had it won since it was a little more than a minute to go in the game. Next game is against New Mexico State.
I'm not sure how the basketball team did against Notre Dame. Too many games yesterday.
So, not much else going on around here. Just the same old things.
