Of course, I'm late in posting this. A little prologue: Last week, my middle sister, Sarah, moved to San Diego. She took a job as a travel nurse and (I believe) will be working at a children's hospital out on the West Coast. She and Julie safely arrived after four days of travel and Julie is now safely back in Birmingham. Sarah has sent us far too few pictures of her new home.

Without further ado, the homeboys.

"Well Sarah and Julie are off and should be getting close to Memphis by now. Maybe they’ll stop and have some ribs for lunch…or maybe not.

Anyway, as for MVHB’s, I know I am a week behind and I need to get caught up, so here we go.

As for the Texas A&M game, it has taken me a week to get over the excitement of us going on the road and upsetting a top 10 team. WOW! The home boy for that game has to be Nick Marshall. He put on a show running the ball as well as throwing the ball, especially in critical situations. There truly were some great highlights from that one which would include Trey Mason, Marcus Davis, Dee Ford, Sammie Coates and many others. The whole team truly brought their A game last week. WOW!! It was GREAT!

On to last night. We knew Florida Atlantic would be heavily out manned going in and as we speculated, everyone that could hobble out on the field got to play, but please, do we have to continue to play Kyle Frazier at quarterback, give me a break, I never want to see him take another snap. Find somewhere else to use the guy. So much for that. It was hard to find a star, since no one really had to play above their ability to get the job done last night. There were solid performances by many on both sides of the ball, and the MVHB goes to Sammy Coates for his 2 touchdown catches.

Well let’s saddle up for next week as we travel to the far reaches of Arkansas to take on the hapless hogs. We need to be careful that this isn’t a trap game.

Everyone have a great week and keep Sarah and Julie your prayers as they take their one wagon train westward to the gold of Cal-i-for-ni-a.

Later,

Mike"

 

So Bess and Baby Nat are our homeboy challenge winners for weeks 7 and 8. Speaking of Baby Nat, last night I returned from her bachelorette party in Nashville, which I will recap later this week. So much fun but this traveler is tired!

 

Happy Wednesday to everyone!
