Saturday, Jan. 5th, has definitely been a very interesting day. We spent sometime with Tyler, before he had to report for the "final" practice, and I discovered that players prepare for a game like people demonstratetheir faith.
Some players are very vocal and can be heard everywhere...so it is with some people and how they demonstrate their faith. Some players are very quiet and you hardly know they are here...again the same goes with people and how they demonstrate their faith. I also discovered that it doesn't matter how a player gets themselves mentally ready for a game, just as long as they do it and it does not matter how someone demonstrates their faith...just as long as they demonstrate it!
This evening we all attended the Mobile Mardi Gras parade...what an experience! We were told that the Mardi Gras parade originated in Mobile, AL, but that other city took it over and made it larger (for those of you who don't know what city that is...New Orleans). The parade is sponsored by GMAC...the same company that sponsors the bowl game. The amount of "bead" necklaces they throw off the lighted float is amazing and in some cases dangerous. Both Kari and Kimber got wacked in the face by "flying" beads. I think we came back to the hotel with at least 100 beaded necklaces.
I ended my night by talking to Greg Brandon, the head coach of BGSU football team. Coach Brandon said that Tulsa is a very powerful offensive team but believes that if we (BGSU) can keep the turnovers down we should do well. I can only say "I HOPE SO!" and GO FALCONS.
