Today is a wonderful day for all Tigers. It is Homecoming Weekend, we play OU, and ESPN's College Game Day is on campus. I watched them this morning and was so proud to be a Tiger. If you are not up on college football, OU is ranked number one on the BCS and number 2 on the AP polls. Missouri is number 11 on the BCS and number 16 on the AP polls. Don't ask me to explain the difference in how they figure the polls. That will be an unexplained mystery on the same lines as who shot Kennedy, Area 51, and how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? I am sure there is research money to be had if you want to do the necessary paperwork. The game is on ABC and ESPN tonight. Kickoff is at 7 pm. I am so jealous of all the fans that will be in the stadium and out tailgating. What a blast they will have!!!! We will be watching on TV and praying that the predicted storms do not interfere with our satellite reception. It would sure be sweet if the trend of knocking off number ones continues. Boy, Columbia will really be rocking when the Sooners go down.
Steve had a good day yesterday. He came home from his parents and took a nap yesterday afternoon. I had to run to Springfield to get his script for his pain pills. He did not ride with me because he was so tired. He called it an early night. I went to Kyle's game while he listened to it on the radio. Please, don't get me started on the radio station again. I'll tell you about the game here in a minute. He must have fallen aseep because on my way home, he called me all panicking that I was not home yet. It was only 9:00 and I was in Mt. Vernon getting a soda on the way home. He woke up and thought it was like 12:00 or so and I wasn't home. When I got home, he drowsily listened to my tales of the game, but was asleep before I finished. He slept well and only got up a couple of times. Once he turned up the TV saying he couldn't sleep, but only in a matter of minutes he was out again. This morning I went to coffee and the store before he woke up. When he did wake up we went for lunch/breakfast. Now he is "watching" the Ole Miss and Arkansas game. I will let him sleep all day so he is fresh for the big game tonight.

| Not sure which one is Kyle, but he is somewhere in the pile. I think he is the one on the ground under 58 on the left side of the picture. We can see his 5 on the back of his jersey. |

The Cubs had Senior Night last night. I arrived right as they were introducing the senior players. I got a few shots of Kyle, Mike and Lorna. I don't know why, but most of the pictures I took last night were fuzzy. I think maybe the bleachers were shaky. The game started of great. Mike wanted the Cubs to score the first drive and they did. We thought for sure we were off to greatness. But, alas, this was not to be. The Cubs played the way they did when Mt. Vernon was there: not really hustling, and tackling high. It seemed like it took all the Cubs to bring down one of Seneca's players. Seneca ran it up the middle more times than I care to remember. Kyle did not play both sides of the ball last night. He was only playing offense. I'm not sure why the coach messed with what seemed to be working before. I sure wish the Cubs would have played the same way last night as they played when we were at Cassville. I think they might have beaten Seneca then. Because of two losses in conference play, Cubs will have no post season play. That is a shame! I guess we will have to wait until Parker is a Cub to see another Doss play on that field. The Cubs travel to East Newton next weekend for the final game of the season. Oh, there was only one flag last night...a false start against Seneca. I can't recall ever watching a game with only one flag thrown.
