I have gotten myself all worked up about a game that I felt let down by people who did their best in the arena of play.
People handle disappointment in different ways and adding the stress of sports to it all isn’t good. I guess it’s one thing about human nature we all have to deal with from ourselves and others.
Win or lose, life goes on. Sports is a part of life, it isn’t all there is to life. I can’t forget this. Maybe all sports fans can all learn from this.
One Of My Tweets Made The Big Time!
This is a screenshot of a USA Today sports blog featuring one of my tweets! A sportswriter is adopting a college football team and he chose the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. UTC is my hometown team. In doing research for his series he found this tweet I did and he embedded it into his article. So thousands of readers are looking at this and I couldn’t be more excited! This is way cool!

For those of you who are connected on WordPress, Twitter, Facebook and other social networks please know that it’s American football season. Tomorrow begins the National Football League season while college/university and high school games have been underway for a couple of weeks.
