I know it's crazy pic but fuck it, I was 2 live!!!

For the fifth straight season, the Angelo State football team (1-0) has won a home opener thanks to a 21-7 win over Texas A&M-Commerce Saturday night at San Angelo Stadium.

The Ram offense struggled to get going in the first half as ASU trailed the Lions, 7-0, going into the locker room. However, Angelo State would finds its swagger in the second half as the Rams scored 21 unanswered points to grab the victory.

Texas A&M-Commerce (0-1), who received points in the AFCA Division II Preseason Top 25, posted the only first-half score with 13:31 left in the second quarter as Marcus Graham used a three-yard run around the right end to put the Lions up 7-0 after the extra point. The Rams had one solid chance to put points on the scoreboard before the break, but missed a field goal attempt with just over four minutes left before half.

ASU would score its first points of the new season early in the third quarter as junior Dwight Pete scored on a one-yard plunge with 11:06 left in the third quarter. That score would spark the Rams who won a season opener for the first time since 2006.

The Rams took the lead later in the third frame as junior quarterback Josh Neiswander connected with freshman Excelle Osborne for a 55-yard touchdown strike with 3:50 left in the quarter. After the ASU defense halted another Lion offensive attack, the Rams would kill most of the fourth quarter on its next scoring drive to seal the victory.

Angelo State took over the ball with 12:46 left in the contest holding on to a slim seven-point lead. The Rams would then use a 16-play, 72-yard drive that 9:49 that ended with a two-yard touchdown pass from Neiswander to sophomore Antwon Williams with just 2:57 left in the game. Neiswander was 3-for-4 while Pete would carry the ball eight times for 23 yards on the drive.

Neiswander, who missed the final 10 games of last season due to injury and had his junior restored by the NCAA, ended the night with 241 yards on 18-of-34 passing with two touchdowns. He hit 10 different receivers with junior V'Keon Lacey leading the pack with five catches for 57 yards. Freshman Dakarai Pecikonis had two catches for 42 yards and Williams had two grabs for 32 yards. Pete led the Rams on the ground with 60 yards on 15 carries and a score.

Defensively, senior linebacker D'Angelo Waites and freshman safety Alvin Johnson each had a team-best six tackles. Sophomore linebacker Sebastian Lafeale had five stops while junior defensive end Zach Petitt and junior cornerback Markeith Jones each had four stops. Jones also had one interception, that coming late in the second quarter halting a second potential Lion scoring drive before the half.

Texas A&M-Commerce quarterback Reid Herchenbach completed 16-of-28 passes for 156 yards with an interception. Adam Jones led the Lion receivers with four catches for 50 yards while Jetavious Best rushed for 43 yards on 13 carries. Graham ended the night with just two carries for two yards and the score. Stephen DeGrate had a game-high 11 tackles, including eight solo stops, for the Lions.

The Rams will hit the road next week as they visit Texas State at 6 p.m. in San Marcos. ASU returns home Saturday, Sept. 12, when the Rams host Southwestern Oklahoma at 6 p.m. at San Angelo Stadium.

Immediate Update

In all honesty it seems like my feelings are in limbo because of what's going on. One moment I'm seething with anger and a while later I don't seem 2 care at all. Maybe it's just the suddeness of our dissconnection is what confuses me. We were good like 2 days ago...well I thought we were good. It's just weird going from being 2gether all the time 2 not even speaking. I think that's the part that hurts because I'm sitting there like "Damn, U can't even speak 2 me and turn around and be super friendly 2 everybody else even though we're supposed 2 be '2gether'". And I don't want it 2 be forced as if ur obligated 2 talk 2 me. I want it 2 be genuine.

I talked 2 mama about it and she kind of figured something like this would happen eventually, but no SO soon. I'm just gonna take her advice and and give my gal some space 4 a couple days and when she's good she'll come back.

IDK, I know we'll be good after a few days, but I just want stuff 2 work out sooner rather than later...

Feeling Better...Finally!

I'm finally back in football mode again...and my ankle isn't killing me like it has been 4 the past month...ready 4 the 1st game of the season...playing Texas A&M-Commerce on Saturday. The after party 4 the game is gonna be live 2...U already know I'm gonna be in there WIRED UP!!!

I know a few people were a bit thrown off by that last post about me being confused and what not. Well all I can really say at this time was that certain situation gave me an emotional sucker punch and left me reeling 4 a couple days. I don't feel like this a good time 2 divulge any details since I've decided 2 wash my hands of the situation and step back 4 while...IDK I'm not doing it out anger or spite but more so 2 avoid conflict and protect what we have since I've been a little on edge because of it and 10 times out of 10 I would respond negatively if anything crazy was said 2 me right now.

HUH?!?

I am confused as shit right now...and I really don't what 2 do 2 handle this situation...

2-a-days

Damn, this picture brings back a lot of memories.

As I was looking thorugh all of my pictures on facebook,I came across this one which was taken during my senior of high school. At this time of my life I lived, breathed, ate, and slept football. It's what got through me that last year of high school without dying of boredom.

But almost 3 years later it's gotten 2 the point where football just hasn't been fun anymore. I'm tired of my body feeling banged up and constanly nursing scrapes, bruises, cuts, and sprains. After 8 years of doing this, the burning desire that I once had has seemed 2 whittle down 2 just a few simmering embers. It feels like the only reason I'm even sticking with this football thing is 2 keep my scholarship.

IDK...maybe it's just a passing phase.

Should Women Ask Men Out? (Fear of Rejection)

For the most part, though, it’s men that have to be subjected to rejection on a more regular basis. Due to society’s gender roles, guys are expected to chase after women and make the first move, while the ladies have the power to just sit back and choose. (“Nope, his shoes are dusty;” “Please, his teeth are crooked;” “He can’t be serious.”) The balance of power basically swings in a woman’s favor leaving her in control of the rejection process more times than not. That’s not to say ladies don’t ever get rejected but the fairer sex usually has the deciding vote in courtship. Men chase, women decide who catches them.

As a former shy guy in recovery, I know firsthand how awkward rejection can be and try to avoid it at all costs. Depending on my mood that can mean I don’t even bother approaching a female I’m interested in and just pine away quietly (*single tear*), or I rely on subliminal game (I.e. make a bet where the loser takes the winner out for dinner or finagle someway for us to go out without it being labeled as a “date”). The latter gives me an easy out should the target of my affection reveal that she’s not be interested: “Date? This wasn’t a date. We’re just chillin’.” LOL.

The other night I was conversing with my homegirl about this very topic and she said that my shy guy approach was lame. “Why can’t you just ask a woman out and be done with it,” she argued.

“Because do you know how wack it is to walk across a crowded room and approach a woman only to have her send you running with your tail between your legs? Men have to put themselves out there for rejection all day every day.”

“Well, that’s your job, you’re a man.”

“What, so a woman can’t approach a man?”

“Oh, hell no. I would never ask a man out.”

“Why not?”

“Because I’m a lady and women like to feel courted and pursued.”

“I’m not saying all the time, but damn, can’t there be a little give and take? There were times where a woman approached me and I found it very attractive. There’s nothing like a woman that knows what she wants and goes for it. You wouldn’t at least give it a try for someone you really liked?”

“No. I’d smile or make eye contact, and if he doesn’t respond to that then I’ll know he’s not interested.”

“That’s not always the case. Let me tell you something, guys are dumb and we don’t always pick up on women’s signals. What might seem obvious to you might be oblivious to him. I’m sure that goes both ways because I’ve flirted with girls and made innuendos and gotten no play.”

“Well, I asked a guy out once and he turned me down so I said I’d never do that again.”

“Wow, one whole time [insert sarcasm here]. See, as a female, you have that option to never have to face rejection again by deciding no to ask a guy out again, but as a man I don’t have that same option. In fact, because so many women refuse to approach men we’re left to put ourselves out there for rejection every single day. How is that fair?”

“It’s not, but a lady should feel wanted by a man.”

“I hear what you’re saying, but can’t a man get something from being wanted, too?”

“Maybe.”

“Well, at least that’s a start. You know this is going on the blog, right?”

“Oh, Lord, just keep my name out of it.”

Fin.
