This has been going around the last week or so, but it’s pretty neat.
It’s been a long time since I got 12 hours of sleep in one night. I guess working two weeks straight will make you tired enough. It was great to wake up this morning at 10 feeling good and ready to go. It’s also nice because I need to work on my paper more, plus there is a lot of football on tv I want to watch.
Yesterday I came across a few articles about people losing their jobs because of facebook. I googled myself and my facebook profile was 5th on the list. Now, I did not do a spicific search, I just typed my name, and there are a ton of people that have my name, both dead and alive. I don’t remember the last time I googled myself, but I sure as heck was not on the first couple of pages, let alone the top five results. The odd think is though, when I do more targeted searches, like including the word facebook, my profile doesn’t seem to show up, this website shows up on the first page though. Kind of strange… the wonders of the internet/google.
Anyway, hope all is well with you guys. Time to work on the paper some more and get ready to watch football! I watched the Duke basketball game last night and they are looking pretty good. UNC is good as always. NC State and Davidson play Dec. 6th. We’ll see how the pack handles that one. Appalachian only plays Davidson once in basketball, which is good for App. Speaking of App, I think there game today against Western is televised. The playoffs start next weekend and the playoff seed show is Sunday night on ESPN U. Can App make it 4 National Championships in a row? We’ve been looking good the last 7/8 games, considering we’ve won them all! If we win today, we will be undefeated in our conference, which doesn’t happen very often.
I love and hate Lost all at the same time. I just watched yesterday’s episode. I was so right about Michael returning, granted, it wasn’t that hard to figure out.
Check the new nike commercial out!
There is something else I wanted to mention, but I so forgot. Oh, this August, when App plays LSU, it might be Monday Night football. How awesome would that be? 
I’ve been trolling around the sports sites today looking for news and the following links are some of what I found:
App football and QB Armanti Edwards, here.
USA Today has a wonderful article about Appalachian. It gets deeper into our story. USA Today
Reading this makes me a little nervous about tomorrow night. I’m nervous no matter what. People expect a lot out of us, especially beating Michigan and winning the last two national championships. This year, we have a lot more to lose than just one game.
The Blue Hens of Delaware just won that close game, 20-17. I can’t speak much about the two teams since today was the first time I’ve seen them play, but I think it would be safe to say that neither of them played their best football.
Delaware almost didn’t get in the play-offs, they are ranked 13 out of the 16 that made it to the post season, but they beat the No. 1 team and now, the number 4 team. Hopefully, they won’t beat the No. 5 team next week. 
If App plays like last night and scores 55 points, then yes, they will win 3 National Championships in a row. How sweet it would be. I don’t want to make a prediction, so I won’t, but I do have confidence that if Edwards and Richardson stays healthy, App will win. Even if Trey comes in the game, I still think we can defeat Delaware.
We will see Friday night at 8pm on ESPN2.
So yeah, I’ve pretty much been useless the last two days. The only thing I’ve been good at is cleaning up and watching football.
I almost died today, at least my heart felt like it. I still do not know how Appalachian won the football game today. Game Recap.
Appalachian has won the last two FCS (Div 1-AA) Football championships the last two years. No one has ever won it three years in a row, which is what we are trying to do. We should have lost the game today. James Madison ran over us all day. We could not stop them. That’s been a problem a few other games this year, when we face someone that has a spread offense like our own, our young defense has a hard time stopping the other team. Our offense has never had much problems, except for turnovers at inconvenient times, but our defense sometimes struggles.
And get this, Duke is tied with UNC at halftime, 7-7. That’s crazy. Duke is actually playing pretty well. I have been rather impressed. If Duke wins today, then all my luck for the next couple of years is spent. App barely wins and Duke wins, it’d be crazy.
Anyway, I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Learn, love, and be happy.
