The 2009 Football Season is Winding Down


As we ease into Thanksgiving Week, the football season is starting to slowly come to a close as teams finish their regular season games or lose in their playoffs. Although this means less and less games each week, it also means more intense games as only the better teams are still playing.

After spending most of Saturday with Mike and Laurie at our house watching college football, on Sunday we went to Mike and Vanessa's house to watch the NFL game between New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

Vanessa got out the snacks necessary for good NFL TV watching.

Mike teaching me the fine details of preparing a Power Point presentation.

I am in the process of setting up a series of meetings with the Senior football players at the 14 colleges that still play football in southern California from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo down to San Diego State. The purpose of these meetings is to make these players aware of the possibilities that await them if they are bold enough to enjoy the adventure that is playing American football in Europe!

Nice shoes Mike!
