I'm really not one to exalt moral victories, but I can't ask for more than the guy next to me to be able to look me in the eyes and know, without question, that he fought alongside me until the bitter end. That's what a team is made of and that's what Roadrunners are made of.
Bouncing back from adversity is simple, really. All it takes is a network of people who believe and support each other. A team. We take on the San Jose State Spartans this week. They better come prepared because I am part a team that believes.

I always get butterflies before a game and they always disappear after the first popping of pads. This time was no different and, like always, the game turned into 100 yards and a pigskin.
The European media is calling it the "Miracle of Medinah" after Europe completed a remarkable comeback to retain the Ryder Cup.
If the Buckeyes can contain the Spartan ground game and force them to pass, it could be a long day for Michigan State.

Going into the second half, the score will be close, but a FSU defense that hasn't been tested and hasn't played four quarters of football will begin to tire towards the end of the third quarter and the Tigers will put the game away
