Throughout my travels and events of the weekend I was able to catch a little football action on TV. Between my cousin’s wedding and the reception we caught the end of the Bearcats game with UConn. Although the Cats were behind the entire game, they came out on top when it mattered and beat the Huskies 26-23. This solidified the fact that they would once again be playing in a bowl game. They finished the season 7-5 even with the second toughest schedule in the nation. I think they should get a rematch with OSU. :)

Just as things were looking positive for UC, I learned today that head football coach Mark Dantonio would be leaving to take a job at Michigan State. His career will be ending after just three short seasons. As my dad said to me earlier today, “it sucks to be a UC fan.” We can still hope that they pull out a bowl win and take this winning streak into next season.

Before my flight back to Kansas City yesterday I was able to listen to the first half of the Bengals and Browns game. The game helped pass the time on the drive from Cincinnati to Indianapolis. By the time I arrived at the airport, the Bengals had built up a good sized lead and had me fairly confident of a victory while I was on my flight. Upon landing in Kansas City I found out about the shutout victory and had to stop myself from calling my buddy Mike, who was at the game cheering for the Browns, to rub it in.
