You know, Week 1 didn’t go our way. Week 2 certainly didn’t start off well for the Westerners, as we fell behind 21-0. However, we battled and scrapped our way back into the game against Andrews, tying it at 28 late in the third quarter. We ended up losing the game but yet again we battled back and gave ourselves a shot.
One word registers with me with this team: resilient.
We are never down and out. We never quit. We just do our thing. We fight. This is a resilient group and we showed
our mettle on Friday night.
Sweetwater is a very good team. Andrews is good as well. We improved from Week 1 to Week 2. We made major improvements. We have something to build on here. Our offense clicked and our defense played solid for three quarters. We have had a lot of positive film work this week.
The Westerners will remain resilient and keep battling. Good days are ahead for us. Attitude is everything here. We have the attitude and we will remain resilient.
I am looking forward to week three. Let’s get it!
9/11
What a week we have ahead of us. A big game with the Dumas Demons is on the horizon. Friday night we square off at PlainsCapital Park at 7:30. Football, however, is the not only important thing going on this Friday.
Friday night marks the fourteenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Under Armour, along with my boss, coach Mark Ball, designed us special USA uniforms that we are going to wear. We will take the field as Westerners but also don the colors of the greatest country in the world. What a special night it will be!
On 9/11 we are all one. I cannot think of a better place to then than a football stadium and honoring our country.
Follow This Guy
Urban Meyer is a coaching legend and is still fairly young in our profession. If you aren’t following anything this guy is doing you are missing the boat. He is a special talent with a knack to win championships.
Study up on his approach to practice. Look to see who he recruits. This guy is one of the best to ever walk the sidelines. If you don’t take my word for it, check out his career record. Phenomenal.
Yeah, follow Urban. Simple task @OSUCoachMeyer.
