Go Colts!!

In the spirit of football and the Colts' win over the Bears tonight in the Super Bowl, I thought I'd post a quick story on the subject....

There was this kid back in 1978 that thought he was one hell of a football player...


His team, the Golden Bears, played in the Corinth "Y" Football Biddy League Jamboree on October 24th. It was the Cardinals, the Packers, and the Bears....



The Jamboree took place at the Corinth Warrior stadium on a Friday night under the lights. You can't imagine how excited all of us were to play at Warrior stadium. We had always gone to the games there, but we'd never in a million years ever imagined we'd get to play football there! Here's a picture my dad took from the stands of us (The Bears) playing the Cardinals:


And here's a picture of all of us sitting in the bleachers after our game, watching the other games in progress...


See if you can find these people in the picture: Jake, Lucky Briggs, Jay Parrack, Shawn Glidewell, Brett Butler, Jay Fisher, Chip McCollum, Mark Mills, Shane Taylor, John Harris, and Tom Miller. There are a few others in the picture, but I can't remember their names. If you can, then please let me know!

Boy, oh Boy what I would give to go back to those days. We had so much fun and felt so tough playing ball at Warrior stadium. That was our first season of ever playing football...most of us had never strapped on the pads or played any football before in our lives. And at the end of that season, we found ourselves playing at Warrior stadium, at night, under the lights. I can still remember how excited I was and how awesome that felt. Yep...those were the good ol' days, alright...
