Last year I was watching highlights of a Dolphins game when the guys on SportsCenter got excited about a new formation they were referring to as the “Wildcat”\u00a0 I thought this was sort of amusing so I watched carefully to see what it was.\u00a0 I was shocked to find that professional sports anchors missed it entirely.\u00a0 The Wildcat offense is nothing new, but a throwback to the football of old.\u00a0 Before there were quarterbacks, a passing game, or any of that, football teams ran the single wing which basically had a running back who could either hand the ball off to someone else or run himself.\u00a0 Sound familiar?\u00a0 That’s because that is exactly what the Wildcat offense is.\u00a0 ESPN goes around claiming that teams are scrambling to find ways to stop this offensive weapon and the answer should be pretty simple to find, just look at old film (if there is any) and see how it was stopped in the past.<\/p>\n
So I did the vast majority of my packing to go back to school today.\u00a0 It is amazing how much you learn from the first time going to college as far as packing goes.\u00a0 For instance, I learned that bringing soap and shampoo for the whole year in my stuff takes up a good bit of space and makes very little sense.\u00a0 Same with bringing pretty much any food.\u00a0 If you are moving into a dorm and you are going to have things like peanut butter, Ramen, etc, once you are moved in go out to the store to get it, don’t fill your car with it, because it will make unpacking take twice as long.\u00a0 I have a full kitchen in the dorm (Residence Hall) I am moving into, but I still feel like I am packing about half as much as I did last fall, which should say a lot.\u00a0 In your room you accumulate a lot of junk if you aren’t careful.\u00a0 You really don’t need a whole lot to live pretty comfortable in college the way I see it, and I am no minimalist.\u00a0 My roommate on the other hand claims to bringing about half as much as me.\u00a0 I don’t know how he is going to do it, but then again, he does have a car.<\/p>\n
I was online fooling around while my little sister worked on college applications and went back to look at the essay I wrote for CofC and found a really cool quote in it.\u00a0 I quoted Herny Wadsworth Longfellow.\u00a0 I love the quote and honestly don’t remember it too well, but he said,”Our todays and yesterdays are the blocks with which we build.”\u00a0 I think when I was writing it I was thinking about mostly education and my future which seems to be a subject in my blog almost every day.\u00a0 Today it makes me think of the building blocks that are life.\u00a0 I think about family, friends, and education, all things that will impact where my future will take me.<\/p>\n
