So the NU v. Mizzou game went just about as I called it. I’d look even more psychic if I’d have stuck with my original pick of 50-17.
You win some… you lose some… and some you lose… you lose badly. Unfortunately, this week NU travels to Lubbock where things may get ugly again. Possibly even [...]

yeah… I know that Mizzou is gonna win this one… probably about 43-17 or so…
but I still picked NU to win 33-31 over at Huskerpedia (because 32-31 was already taken)
Here’s the deal… Mizzou has always been the sleeping giant of midwest football (along with Illinois) and it seems like they’ve finally put fences up around [...]

I’m OK… thanks for asking. I’m just not sure how I really want to use this blog or if I want to use it. I added the “Blogging Without Obligation” badge a long time ago and adhere to its principles. I’m glad to know that many people missed my blogging… but…
I’m one of those people [...]

That’s where I’m at right now… the time between Saturday AM (July 12) and Sunday AM (July 13) is the roughly 24 hour period “IN BETWEEN”.
Last week was the Taiwan Missionary Summer Conference. Drs. David Roadcup and Darrell Bock paired up to make the week memorable in so many ways. I have not looked at [...]

Those of you who know me personally (instead of digitally) and share my love of sports have probably heard me talk about the College World Series… hosted in my hometown of Omaha, Nebraska where the people are… friendly.
Here’s an article from ESPN that might help explain why it is such a great event… it isn’t [...]

My goal was 40km.
Reaching that goal was seriously in doubt when, in my 2nd kilometer, I saw 2 dogs attacking a kitten. I have to admit that I really didn’t want to stop as I knew we couldn’t take another cat. We already have 1 which is probably twice as many as we should have.
However… [...]

Long ago… on the detasseling crew… we’d eat bugs (mostly box-elder bugs) once in a while as part of our mind game strategy with the kids on our crew. It helped with discipline issues if they thought we were a little psycho.
But the most bugs I’ve ever eaten in my life was last Thursday night [...]

www.sportsandenglish.com is now LIVE!
I’d like to see more pictures in the gallery… I’d like to have it translated in more places, but it seems ready for visitors.
 
The first Team Expansion Sports and English Camp was in the summer of 2006. I could not attend as we were in the USA at that time, [...]

I had back surgery 2 months ago.
I’ve been trying to be a good patient. It is somewhat difficult here because you never know when what you are doing will be met with shock and horror by our Taiwanese friends.
Bananas… the PERFECT food, right?!?! One friend who shall remain nameless reminded me SEVERAL times how BAD [...]

I’m a far bigger college football fan than a pro football fan… except for my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers.
Outside of the past 4 years, while Nebraska has played mostly sissy football, each team is known for tough defense, passionate play, overachieving, and crazy fans.
This Sunday, the Stillers have a chance to knock off the only remaining [...]
