Boy, the Chiefs were horrible on Saturday. Just horrible. But think how horrible Dallas Cowboy fans feel! (I'm talking to YOU, Uncle Lennie!)

OUCH. Tony Romo choked the game away BIG time in that affair. Wow-ee. That was simply devastating. I mean, the Chiefs were bombed from the start. But the Cowboys had their fans believing that they were going to the next round, only to literally bobble it away!

The National Championship game is tonight. Hoop-tee-dang-doo. I just can't get that worked up over Division I football. The BCS is a joke. Once a team loses, every other game they play for the rest of the season is meaningless. They are just expensive exhibitions. Give me a playoff system, baby!

As of right now, I'm going into a sports hibernation. I really don't have a college basketball team that I'm really jacked up about this year. I'll continue to root for my Oklahoma Sooners, but this is the Mother of All Rebuilding Seasons down in Norman. So Yikes! Not looking good right now.

Here are the teams that I'm willing to follow this season:

1. OU
2. Oklahoma State: They've always been my second favorite Big 12 team, and this year they are playing pretty doggone good.
3. Wichita State: They have already lost 3 conference games after an absolutely GREAT non-conference schedule. Either they were over-rated to begin with, OR (more likely) they thought they were going to trounce the MVC OR (even more likely) the Missouri Valley Conference is just that good.
4. Missouri State: Just Because
5. KU. I hate KU. But I like to watch them play in the off-chance that they'll lose. You know why I hate them? Two words: Danny Manning. 1988, Kemper Arena, Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas 83, Oklahoma 79. I will always hate KU for those two reasons.

In other news, I sold my projector to the school. I'm replacing it with a nother one, but I have to wait until I get paid at the end of the month. So that means no Xbox 360, no HD College Basketball, no HD DVD movies........argh. I'm going to start having the shakes by the 20th, I think.

In still other news, Audrey is crawling all over the place .Last night we had to drop a load of money on a baby fence system that can taken apart, broken into little pieces, and placed around important things that we don't want her to get into. Right now, Audrey is just fascinated with our vents and, of all things, our magazines. But that is ending soon. Last night she pulled her self up to the couch and let go. She stood for nearly 10 seconds all by herself. It is so amazing to watch each new thing she can do on her own! Makes me smile each time I think about it.

Tomorrow night I'm taking her to her first ever basketball game. The CUHS Titans play at Carl Junction tomorrow night, literally across the street from my house. So I'm gonna try to make home-made hushpuppies (Natalie LOVES them) and then going to the game. Hope we win both the boys and the girls! Go Titans!

Finally, I have some sad news to report. (Always love ending a post on a downer.)

Church Basketball starts again tonight.

Another season of futility. We are older, slower, and yet again, we have not gotten any infusion of new talent whatsoever. I went jogging and ran the stars some last week, and my legs are just now beginning to recover from the sheer agony I put them through. Now that I have my legs finally starting to gel, it's time to work on the lungs.

Here's to cardiovascular fitness!

I'll post a photograph of tonight's action in a post sometime this week.

PEACe, homies!
