We're Rising With Every Breath

Congratulations are once again in order for Mr. John Middleton after he correctly named "For the Longest Time" by Billy Joel as the Sunday Song of the Day.

While A&M fans are caught up in the excitement of a new head coach, the Key City is still trying to come to grips with a meltdown of colossal proportions. That's right, my friends, my beloved alma mater, Abilene Christian University, lost in the second round of the Division II football playoffs to Chadron State (Nebraska) by the astronomical score of 76-73 in 3 overtimes.

As if that final score was not amazing enough, at one point in the 4th quarter, the Wildcats led by the score of 49-20, and somehow the game slipped out of our still turkey-greased hands. My long-lost cousin, Bernard Scott, led the Wildcats with 303 yards rushing, 80 yards receiving, and 5 combined touchdowns, but unfortunately, it was all for not.

Oh well, at least ACU will always have those track championships to fall back on. Thank you, Nicodemus Naimadu.
