Counting Chickens

Never count your chickens or make plans to go to Chattanooga too quickly. SIU lost in a horrible game on Saturday. For about 10 minutes all was well. Then that well ran dry! I don't know if it can be proven, but I know when your team begins to lose, you suddenly start feeling weather conditions more acutely.

I am in Illinois - nowhere near Chicago. Therefore, we don't get really cold weather. I don't like cold weather. Why anyone would voluntarily live in a climate colder that what we have here in So. Illinois is beyond the scope of my thinking. Is it the big city life of Chicago? There are big cities down south. Is it the farmlands of central Illinois? Yep, those can be found west of here! Anyway, I froze my keister off on Saturday and the more points the other team put on the scoreboard, the colder that keister got!

Anyway, SIU football was a great time all season long and I can say that we have a really good chance to compete next year.

At least they don't play basketball outside!
