NFL is Back

This weekend was the opening of the 17-week NFL season and my favorite time of the year. ONU, Ohio State, and the Browns are all in full swing and I love everything about it. I spent every minute on Sunday watching the NFL games, specifically the Browns. Browns have been my favorite team growing up and they always will be. But this opening game match-up was very interesting. This past offseason we traded our former "franchise" QB Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers for basically nothing. The interesting part about it is that the Browns opened with the Panthers this season and we had to play Baker right off the bat. I was pretty nervous about this game because I did not want us to lose to Baker. The game started off goof for the Browns as we got off to a good lead heading into halftime. This didn't last long. The Panthers came out firing in the 2nd half and actually took the lead with a minute and a half left in the game. In comes Jacoby Brissett our starting QB while Deshaun Watson is suspended for the first 11 games of the year. He left the team down the field and with 15 seconds left we brought in our rookie kicker who we just drafted in the 4th round of the NFL draft. He delivered. He hit a 58-yard field goal with 10 seconds left in the game to go ahead by 1. This was the perfect start to a great Sunday of football. Even if the Browns didn't win, I would still be excited because for the next 17 weeks, I will have football to watch and enjoy.

    Yes, sir! I had a blast Sunday watching the game with you and all the other Cleveland Brown fans! The NFL makes Sunday's a lot more easier.

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

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

Much Needed Break

 Last week we students here at Ohio Northern University finally got our Thanksgiving break. I talked to many of my friends and classmates around campus about the break and they all agreed with me that this break was very much needed. It has been a long semester for many of us and the break gave us time to recharge and get ready to get through these last 3 weeks of school and do well on our finals before we get a month off for Christmas break. I did many things that helped me relax and recharge over break. The most important thing that I did was SLEEP. It was very nice not having to wake up at 8 am and attend a class. Getting the opportunity to sleep in my own bed and sleep in was so refreshing. It was also good to see some friends and connect with people from back home that I haven't seen in a while. On Friday, I hung out with some of my childhood best friends from home and it was awesome to see them. I haven't seen them in forever and it was great to catch up. On Saturday, I g
