If you have watched any college football over the past several years, you know that this Alabama program…as it is being run right now…is the best in the history of the sport. They have 4- and 5-star athletes at every position and are coached by the greatest head coach in history of college ball. Miami has average talent coached by Manny Diaz and Rhett Lashley…average coaches at best. This game wasn’t close, was never going to be close, and anybody who thought otherwise was either A) shilling for the broadcast ratings, or B) a delusional Miami fan.Read More →

The Gators rang-up 400 yards rushing Saturday night. That’s a good stat regardless of who you’re playing. Jones, Richardson, Davis and Pierce gashed, plowed and steamrolled FAU defenders consistently. When they weren’t running through defenders, they were hurdling them.Read More →

Every season starts with a first game, the first time the players get to step onto the field “for real.” You can practice all you want, you can scrimmage, you can do “live” tackling…but the first real game is different. There’s an earnest feeling of excitement, of confidence, of doubt, and of course butterflies. If you don’t have butterflies in the stomach, you’re not ready. For the Florida Gators 2021 season, the first game is against Florida Atlantic. The Owls shouldn’t pose too much of a threat to Florida’s season, they are undermanned, and let’s be honest: their coach is Willie Taggart. So what doRead More →

Well, what we DO know about the 2021 draft is that the first three teams will take a QB. Jax at 1.1 will definitely take Trevor Lawrence. The Jets just traded Sam Darnold away and the 49ers are trying to figure out what to do about Jimmy Garoppolo; they traded up to #3…so that’s a given. The question is going to be: “what QB will they take?”My best guess is that the Jets will take Justin Fields at 1.2; Fields is the best prospect outside of Lawrence, he has the size and arm strength. He’s also a high-character kid who led the effort by B1GRead More →

The Steelers would reach the Super Bowl again in 2010, losing to a red-hot Green Bay Packers team led by burgeoning superstar quarterback Aaron Rogers. Since 2010, however, the Steelers have only reached the AFC Championship Game once, losing to the New England Patriots in 2016.Read More →

As I write this on September 28, 2017, I am reminiscing about the day I met the woman who would eventually become my wife.  I don’t remember a lot about Sunday, September 28, 1997…at least not much before about 5pm.  That’s when I met her.  It was right after embarkation in San Juan, Puerto Rico and I was tasked with one of my best friends, Mike Wycoff, to do Bingo card sales just outside of the main theater on the MS Seaward (Norwegian Cruise Line).  That was the first (and only) time we were tasked with said assignment. As she approached the table, I noticedRead More →

One of my absolute favorite passages in all of scripture is the argument between Jesus and the Pharisees in John 8.  Now, this argument began much earlier and lasts longer than just this one chapter…but this section is particularly interesting because of the nature of what’s going on here.  In this sermon I cover what I believe to be the essence of the argument (this time)…and what it means for us.  The Gospels confront our faith, and in this one, Jesus does the confrontation.  Check it out… Of note:  In this sermon I call out one of our congregation who is a most humble gentleman. Read More →

A Few videos from last night’s choral concert at Carson Middle School.  The music program there is absolutely amazing, led by David Woten (6th and 7th grade) and Jamie Davis (8th grade). Hope you enjoy. CMS Select is an auditioned group of 6-8th grades.  They meet from 7am – 8am on Tuesday mornings.  This group is used to help those whose voices are changing by pairing them up with older singers who are experiencing the same effects. A funny thing happened with this song.  The first performance was not recorded on the audio track by the technicians…so this is the second performance of the song…whichRead More →
