Fall Break Fun

 This past weekend into early this week was fall break here at ONU. We also had a bye week for football. This gave me the opportunity to go home for the weekend. When I was home I got to spend some valuable time with my friends and family that I haven't seen in over 2 months. It is always good to get the chance to go home and see all the people you missed the most. It was a really relaxing weekend for me. My family and I went out to eat on Friday night and caught some of my old high school football team's game. I also got to hang out with some of my friends and watch a movie with them. On Saturday, all of my friends and I went golfing during the day. I might not be very good at golf, but it was fun to be able to golf and hang out with all of my friends again. After golf, we all went back to my friend's house and watched some football and had a campfire. My favorite nights are when I can just sit around the fire with some of my closest friends and have fun together. Sunday consisted of my Mom, Dad, and I watching NFL football all day. I am now back at ONU and ready to attack the 2nd half of the semester and football season. I am going to have plenty of challenges on the way, but I am looking forward to tackling these challenges head-on.

    Noah, I wrote about nearly the same thing. I am glad we both cherish going home and spending time with friends and family we may not to get see a lot. That is also nice you guys had a bye week for football at the same time of fall break. Keep pushing and finish out strong!

    Noah, I'm glad you could finally go home and see your family. I know we've talked about how much you missed your friends and family, so I am glad you were given that time to see everyone. Good luck the rest of the semester!

Coming to an End

 If you are following the football team and our season, you know that this is the season's last week and last game. I am not going to lie, it has been a very long season for us. We are currently 2-7 which is very unfamiliar territory for many players on our team. In high school, I never had a season with more than 3 losses, so this has been relatively different for me.  Even though our record doesn't show it, this has been the closest team that I have been a part of since coming to campus three years ago. In the future, that is what we are all going to remember. We are going to remember the relationships that we formed and that are going to last for the rest of our lives.  Some of the seniors that are graduating have been some of my best friends for the last three years. I actually live with two seniors that are graduating now. As this week has gone on and we continue to do events for senior week, it has gotten to be very emotional. I still don't think it has hit me that so

Football is Over

 After days of practices, meetings, and games, it hurts to say the 2021 football season has come to a close. I know it hasn't necessarily been one of the better years this program has had but I loved every second of it. There really is nothing like going out with your brothers and playing 60 minutes of football, the game you love the most. If you haven't seen it already we lost in a devastating fashion. We lost on a hail mary ball in the endzone with 8 seconds left after driving down and scoring 30 seconds before that. That was the part that really stung. We, underclassmen, were doing everything in our power to try to send these seniors out on top and it just didn't work out. Now it is time to move on as much as it hurts. I am now a junior football-wise and the preparation for next season starts now. I definitely need to get to work this offseason. Last year we never really had an offseason. Since the Covid year moved everything to the spring we never really had any time of

Bounce Back

The game on Saturday was not fun. If you don't already know we got upset very badly at Musky. I don't think anyone on the team really expected us to lose this game. We had an iffy week of practice, but I don't think anyone really predicted that we would end up losing the game. In my personal opinion, I thought that we were the better team with more talented players, but we just didn't get it done. I felt embarrassed and upset after this game. I was in pure shock. I had a long bus ride home to think about how the game went as a whole and what we exactly did right and wrong. I did a lot of soul searching on the way home and I realized that I have to be better and it starts now.  What is most important now is to bounce back. There is no point in dwelling on this game anymore. There is nothing that we can do about it anymore so we shouldn't think about it. The only thing that we as a team can do is to bounce back. It all starts during practice. Everyone knows the saying
