I've had a super busy but awesome weekend! I visited my fam and hung out in Huntington Friday evening thru Saturday Morning, for the Friends of Coal Bowl. Marshall lost to WVU in OVERTIME! It was a complete heartbreaker, and I totally whimpered and cried about it. Aside from the WVU fans who sat at home and watched it on tv, then harassed me on Facebook when it was over, it was a great game - so great that the WV governor renewed the Friends of Coal Bowl contract for another 10 years! It's going to take me a whole year to recover from that experience. My husband still has a sore throat and no voice, two whole days later!
Saturday evening we hopped off our home on the hill, down to Peden Stadium and watched our Ohio Bobcats play the Toledo Rockets. I was completely moved and teary-eyed when the Bobcat football players came running onto the field carrying an American flag before the game started. September 11th has touched everyone in a personal, emotional, mental, or even physical way. I must mention that I really enjoyed everyone's September 11th memorial posts this weekend - I didn't get time to comment on them, but I loved them all - especially the "where were you?" posts. Great writing!

I was SURE that the Herd would beat WVa! One of my former students is a Marshall cheerleader, so we tune in when they're on in DC.
9 years ago, I was in a classroom full of students. I didn't do a "where were you" post yesterday, but plan something for tomorrow. Never forget!
Sounds like what I've done today! Watching too much TV and ate everything!
Worst part? The day isn't over yet. Oh no!
Check out the award I gave you on my blog!

This looks like one of those Girly type of blogs...
Wow I am sorry about the loss. That certainly does suck especially since it was super close. I probably would have cried as well. It is tough to see your team lose, especially a hardc fought loss.
Looks like you had a great weekend... :) The pats are looking really good...I am scared. I kind of liked them not being a threat in the AFC last year.
I was completely shocked. I seriously didn't move for a minute after that last field goal. Booooo! Next year! Next year!
