Why lying doesn’t work

Because you always get caught…..
The Platte Canyon High School student who told NBC’s “Today” show yesterday that he had been in the classroom at the beginning of a fatal hostage standoff was back on the program, apologizing for lying.
This kids is lucky that the guy didn’t survive.  He would have been a witness and could [...]

Soccer team has huge game

My high school team has a huge, huge game tomorrow. We play the team favored to win our district. The game is at our place where we are undefeated in the history of the school, but this is our toughest home test by far. I told the kids to make sure a ton of their [...]

When tragedy hits home

This story about the tragedy at Platte Canyon High School really hit home for me.  Platte Canyon is in our new sports league that I helped create here in Colorado.  Their AD is a great guy, who was the main force in founding the league.  The school, set in the mountains away from Denver, is [...]

Terrorism is Terrorism, even for Keith Olbermann

I heard about this via Hugh Hewitt, and I had to vent my disgust as well. Hugh wrote…
It is not funny when any citizen of the United States receives a terrorist threat. It is appropriate and indeed smart for the recipients of envelopes full of white powder to call 911. The New York Post [...]

Rematch

And yes we do play a lot of games thank you.
Today we have the rematch of a game we played last week. Our rivals lost some guys to academics and were short-handed which led to a romp by us. We are at their place today. It’s a dirt pitch with most of their guys back. [...]

This guy is a real [...]

Cheaters in the midst…

I was informed this weekend that a couple of my kids were caught cheating on their homework.  I’m glad no pictures were taken at the moment I was told, because there would be steam coming out of my ears.  The high school doesn’t take cheating on anything lightly, and I’m even more strict on the [...]

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!

The Colorado Buff football team was so close, leading 13-0 in the fourth quarter….and then the COLLAPSE. Georgia scores two touchdowns in the last couple minutes and C.U. loses their fourth of the year.
I know Georgia is #9 in the country and C.U. should have had no chance, but if you have an opportunity to [...]

Looking for a winning record

My high school soccer team has found their groove. We are 1-0 in our league so far, and we’ve won 3 straight. Today we have our second Frontier League soccer game. We should win this game, but it’s cold out and that may have an impact. We are also missing some kids. It shouldn’t be [...]
