Pep Talk from the Coach’s Wife

October 10, 2009

It’s Game Time, Boys! Here is today’s strategy…  Only throw the ball to the boys who are wearing the same color as you!  Pretend you have a little bit of glue on your hands & don’t drop the ball! Run like you’re being chased (’cause you ARE being chased) and don’t let ‘em catch you [...]

Monday Morning Quarterback

September 14, 2009

Everyone’s a critic & when your team loses, those critics become Monday Morning Quarterbacks.  We should have passed more.  We should have done this, done that, & surely we would have won.  My husband works 85 hours a week.  He sacrifices time with his family and works his tail off to win games, to keep [...]

Two-a-Days

August 17, 2009

Two-a-Days I am not athletic.   I don’t like to sweat & I’m not a fan of humidity.  I enjoy watching others be athletic while sipping on diet coke.  Coach loves exerting himself on a hot & humid day — lucky for him because today is the start of “Two-a-Days”.  Practice #6 this morning & practice [...]

Game Day Attire

August 13, 2009

  Want to know what I’m going to wear to the first football game?  It won’t be a winter coat. When Coach and I were first dating, he invited me & my little brother to attend a game.  It was mid-November in Pennsylvania, the air was cold, but the sun was shining.  As we got [...]

The Arrival of Spring

April 5, 2009

It’s official — Spring has finally arrived.  Windows have been flung open wide and the smell of fresh cut grass permeates the air.  My lillies are growing, our Dogwood is budding, and the Azaleas are already showing their pink.  A mother Wren has built a nest on our porch and her sweet song fills our home.  Ah, but the true [...]

Talking Shop

March 18, 2009

When coaches congregate to talk about football, it’s much different than the average fan talking about the game.  I’ll admit it — I know practically NOTHING about college football except that I like it.  During our games, I always sit with my MerMer & between the two of us we can usually determine who has [...]

Spring Football Practice

March 12, 2009

Since having a baby, I have a problem keeping track of “our” (Coach’s) football schedule.  I must have asked him at least a dozen times about Spring practice… When does it start? How long does it last? Each time, Coach looks at me bewildered…  this is NOT my first year, so why can’t I remember [...]

How’s the team looking?

March 1, 2009

Here it is March 1 — my spring flowers are just starting to peek out and the weather channel is forecasting 3-6″ of snow!  It’s been raining like mad for the past two days and we used the miserable weather as an excuse to skip church this morning.  Instead, Coach, Babycakes, & I made a trip to Aldi’s [...]
