Ball State Football

Believe it or not, the Ball State Cardinals are 7-0 and moved up four spots in the AP College Football Poll to #20 without even playing this week. The Cardinals haven't had a record this good since the 1960s and look to continue their winning ways on Saturday in Muncie against Eastern Michigan. Ball State also showed up at #20 in the first BCS standings of the year.

All of this is a far cry from the Cardinals that lost 21 straight games while I was in college. It's great to see the current coaching staff getting their own players into the mix and reaping the rewards of their hard work. Even ESPN at some point a couple weeks ago declared them "the best team in Indiana." I'm looking forward to seeing Ball State get some national exposure in the next couple of months, and hopefully seeing the 9-0 Cardinals pick up their tenth win at Miami in person on November 11. If anybody else feels like an Ohio trip on a Tuesday night, lemme know.

Grumpy

I wonder who hates baths more; cats or kids?

Leaves

My yard needs raked. All you idiots who says you love the fall colors and the cooler temperatures should come over and take care of that.

Mom's Party

Mom hosted a little shindig at the Thorntown Public Library for the family and a handful of friends since a lot of people didn't get to go to Las Vegas. So it was great to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time, eat some pretty tasty food, and do a little socializing. The library is pretty awesome now that they've done all the remodeling and additions, and it worked perfectly for the gathering. I'll have to put some photos up whenever mom gets some to me.
