football

Well, my family are all football freaks. If you look at my brothers blog you will see that he and a number of my siblings as well as my parents are University of Michigan fans. I used to watch football back in the day too. Then life sort of happened and football took the back seat to things like raising kids. Since my divorce I have been trying to bring fun back into my life. This meant the reintroduction of football. My 13 year old son has just decided in the last couple of years that he also enjoys watching football. So this year I started taking him to high school football games. One of my friends has a son who plays for Layton High. So we have been attending those games. We also watch a lot of Cowboy football games on television. This week has been the lead up to the BYU vs UTAH game. I decided to be a good alumni and root for BYU. I wore blue to work on Friday and guessed the score to win a printer. I told my friend Angie that if the Utes win I would buy lunch. Things were going as expected until the third quarter. I finally turned off the TV with six minutes left. I am feeling blue and now owe Angie lunch. Oh the pain of placing a bet.

Whew

Just thought you would like to know that when I woke up this morning the plagairism checker was finished--of course. I wasn't sure if I should look. After all I could just plead the university was at fault. Or-I could look and then fix the paper and resubmit it with an "I know you can't grade this version" disclaimer. However, the match was only 4% and those were the references which don't count. So-I won! I turned it in on time and I won't be penalized.
