BCS - BYU

Ok, So I'm a big BYU fan. So I am annoyed that a 2 loss BYU (10+ wins for 4 years in a row) will NEVER get into a good bowl game. But a 3 loss Notre Dame, or any other BcS team will get considered. I'm also annoyed by BCS putting Boise and TCU at the kiddie table in their BCS bowl because they are afriad that TCU and Boise would win a la Utah. I've often thought that BYU would or Should get invited to be in a BCS conference like the PAC 10 or the BIG 12. I don't think that will happen. Reason being is that the schools there are not going to share. What I think now should happen is the MWC (BYU's conference) should expand and drop non-qulifiers. a Non-Qualifier is a kid that didn't pass the standards test with a (SAT) 1250 and have a 2.0 GPA. Some schools (UNLV, New Mexico) allow that. Utah and Fresno State used to but have recently dropped that policy. So if the 9 schools in the current MWC stop excepting non-qulifiers and the MWC adds Boise State, Univ of Nevada and Fresno State they would almost force (along with the Washington DC pressure they are already getting) the BCS to include them. If the BCS doesn't like it they can add a 5th bowl + the national championship game they already have. I think the Cotton Bowl would be a good one to add with their long standing tradition and former first class status. So here's my plan with there being two parts 1) the NEW MWC allignment and 2) the NEW BCS affiliations to bowl games.

NEW MWC
So the new 12 member MWC would have to split into a NORTH and a SOUTH division, with natural traveling partners (like PAC 10) and a football championship game on 1st week in December (like the BIG 12, ACC and SEC) at Dever's Invesco Field at Mile High, Home of the Denver Broncos.

North Division:
BYU, Utah, Boise, Nevada, Colorado St, Wyoming
South Division
TCU, New Mexico, UNLV, Air Force, Fresno St, San Diego St.

The Schedule (football): Each team plays everyone in their division and rotate 2 others from the other division. Allows for 8 conference games, clear north /south champions and 4 non-conference games.

The Schedule (Basketball) : Play everyone home and home in your division (10 games), play everyone in the other division once rotate home team (6) and have a big east style conference tournament (everyone in higher seeds get buys).

Pluses: Keeps natural rivalries. Currently MWC had 9 teams, and play everyone twice so they have 16 conference games. This wouldn't change basketball. 4 non-conference football games could be scheduled for big payouts, wins (lesser teams), geographic rivalries or for intriguing matchups TCU/Oklahoma was a good one; or Utah/Utah State could be preserved. Football Conference Championship Game in NFL stadium would work well for the conference exposure since a BCS bowl would be on the line. Bigger basketball tournament on your own network would be great. New expanded conference would only help get The Mtn Network on more cable systems (Nor Cal, Nevada, Idaho). You'd own the the Mountain time zone. Then have your championship game on CBS (basketball game) your MTN partner.

BCS Changes Expantion:
Step One. Include the MWC so there are seven automatic qulifiers.
Step Two. Add another BCS Bowl. Currently there are 4 bowl games (Orange, Rose, Fiesta and Sugar) Plus the National Championship Game. Currently with the 6 auto qualifiers (PAC 10, BIG 12, BIG 10, ACC, SEC, BIG EAST) and 10 spots that makes for 4 "invitation" bids. With the additoin of MWC as an auto qulifier the invitation bids would go to 3 if you don't add another Bowl. If you add another BCS Bowl The spots would increase to 12 and thus even with the MWC there would be 5 "invitation" bids. I suguest the Cotton Bowl. When I was a kid it was one of the Big Bowls. The Old SWC champion went to it. It was/is Played in Dallas. What better place to have a good bowl game (National Championship game every 5 years) then the New Dallas Cowboys stadium. Could you Imagine Texas v. Alabama in Texas Stadium?
Step three: Keep Bowl Affiliations to conferences. Current Auto Qulifiers alignment: Big 12: Fiesta, Big 10/Pac 10 Rose, Big East/ACC - Orange, SEC - Sugar. So Easily add the MWC to the Cotton. So if the MWC team isn't in the NC game then they play an invited team in the Cotton bowl.

Let's use this year as an example: If they had my proposal above.

Rose Bowl (no change) Oregon (PAC 10) vs. Ohio State (BIG 10)
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma State (BIG 12 - at large) vs. Boise State (MWC - at large)
Cotton Bowl: TCU (MWC) vs. Virginia Tech (ACC - at large)
Sugar Bowl: (no change) Cincy (Big East) vs. Florida (SEC - at large)
Orange Bowl: (no change) Georgia Tech (ACC) vs. Iowa (BIG 10 - at large)
National Championship: (no change) Texas (BIG 12) vs. Alabama (SEC)

So the top 11 of the final BCS standings are taken, Every conference except Big East and PAC 10 have two teams in. The only team not in the top 12 of the BCS is Oklahoma State because the others in front of them are from conferences that already have two teams in. West Virgina from the Big East could be there instead of Oklahoma State but the Fiesta has a BIG 12 affiliation so they'd pick the Next Best BIG 12 Team (since BIG 12 Champion Texas is in the National Championship game).

Some Tweeks that might make more sense but would cause a lot of change. What if Colorado joined the NEW MWC and TCU took their spot in the BIG 12? This would really help both teams. TCU would have more natural rivalries with the 4 other Texas teams in the BIG 12 and Colorado would have an in state travel partner in Colorado State. This would change my North South alignment to an East West Alignment as such:
EAST:
Colorado, Colorado State, Wyoming, Boise St, Air Force, New Mexico
WEST:
BYU, Utah, UNLV, Nevada, San Diego State, Fresno State

Conclusion
I could see some great Games either way. A TCU / Boise State MWC Championship game would have been better then the "Kiddie Table" BCS Fiesta Bowl game that means nothing this year. The other conferences wouldn't be effected at all. In fact my system makes them more money. The ACC and Big 12 getting a 2nd team in the BCS (example above) is only more money then they'll get under the current plan. Now sure.. if you include the MWC in the BCS won't the WAC and Conf. USA and others would get all upset. Well if you include Boise in the MWC that takes all of the WAC's Fire power away since Boise is the only consistant BCS "buster" (Hawaii was a one time anomoly). UTAH (twice) and TCU have done it and BYU is always predicted to do it, the the MWC has more history anyway. Conference USA has never done it and haven't even sniffed it. The other conferences aren't likely to have much fire power until they start to show they are worthy like the MWC has 3 out of the last 4 years. If BYU beats Florida State this year (big "IF" I know) then they are in the TOP 12 BCS standings (#14 as is) and are in the discussion or debate this year. That's 3 teams that the new MWC would have in the BCS discussion. And Just wait; UTAH will be in the BCS discussion next year again (three times in 5 years???) that's better then most teams that are in BCS games this year (Iowa, Cincy, Georgia Tech).

Now do I think it will ever happen? well maybe. But I am more positive about it then BYU, Utah, TCU and Boise State ever getting invited to join an existing conference. It's really up to the MWC to expand an "bust the BCS" again and again until they kick the door down. I also think they should keep the pressure on the politicians to force the issue. If TCU or Boise State win convincinly and Alabama kills Texas (or vice versa) the outcry should be that they got it wrong and TCU(or BSU) should have been included.

40 - ain't nuttin' but a number

Well today i'm 40... old by standards of where I live and who I associate with. I think it's funny that I'm 40. I thought that I'd be about where I am. It's better in some ways than the dream but worse in others. I knew my Dad at 40. In fact I remember the day he turned 40. My cousins were in town because it was summer. My cousin Brett Johnson made my Dad a cake. It was a unique cake that was shaped like a mountain. I don't know how he did that kind of cake. But he did. Also he made it with green frosting that to me looked like a grassy mountain or hill. Then he put a flag on one side that said "40" and a toy hiker that was by the flag that was my Dad I guess making it over. So it was a unique Over the Hill cake. Anyway my Dad was a good sport ate the cake and moved on. I was 11 I think so about Skylar's age. Funny what you remember. I was thinking the other day, you know comparing my life now that I'm over the hill to my dads. It's pretty interesting because there are a lot of similarities. Here are a few. We used to tease my Dad that he was overweight. Well that was a mistake because I'm way heavier on my 40th birthday then he was. I'll blame that on me having an office job and him building homes and farming. He had 7 kids and so do I. Although his was a bit more of a round about way; step kids, adoption etc. than my path but still same (although I'll have my 8th soon enough). funny how it turns out...

Today I am working. But I plan on not doing much tonight. I will finally get to eat my cake. Mine is much cooler than my Dads... It captures what I like and I wonder if it isn't a bit kiddish. But I am a Dad of many kids so I guess that it is what I am. Thanks to my wonderful wife I had a party the other night that was fun. I couldn't cut that beautiful cake then so tonight I will. Here is a picture of it just in case you didn't see it. If you want to know where it came from I guess you'll have to ask Stacy. It is a lady in our ward that does these edible art cakes. She's amazing.

Saturday

I had a very tough day last Saturday. It was crazy. I was sick. I wanted to puke every minute. The boys and I went shooting with a friend of mine from work. It was really fun. I got to shoot my shot gun my dad gave me. it was cool. Its a little 410 so it doesn't do damage like we are used to and Drew thought it kicked too much. My friend Denny had a bunch of other guns that we enjoyed shooting including a 9mm and 357 hand guns. It was cool, but I wanted to lie down in the dirt and sleep. We also found a really old train station in a thicket that was cool. One of the little buildings was still standing. After that we went to Taco Bell, maybe not the best choice for me, then headed home to watch the UA/ASU and BYU/UU games. It was a fun afternoon. Problem was i really just sat there from 1:30 until 6:30 that night. Stacy wasn't 100% either and so she watched movies, washed, dried and folded laundry and slept (a little) all afternoon. I guess I didn't accomplish much but I did enjoy the outcomes from my day. UA & BYU are my two favorite teams and enjoyed their victories. I found this cartoon... Enjoy! By the way Happy Birthday to Skylar today!!! 11 is old man!

Holiday time again - I can tell by my TV not the weather.

I love this time of year. I think people that say "I hate Christmas" are lying (hey its my blog, I can say what I want). I love it. I love the commercialism I love the constant TV ads I love the greedy kids I love it all. I love the Christmas music on the triple 9 before Thanksgiving. I think its all awesome. I love it because it reminds me of where I live, what we (claim to) stand for in this country and what is still (?) possible for each of us. You see each of these ads, each of these "things" that ruin Christmas for some is making it great for others. It seems to me that folks are driven by jealousy more then anything. If you had invented some product like the charge pad you'd be like "show it more" on TV! But you didn't so you can whine that it's on too much already.

A Little History.

I didn't always think this way... In fact I hated Christmas as a kid or at least the season until December 10th each year. Really. See my birthday is December 9th. So I wouldn't let me mom put up the tree until after my birthday. She probably hated it because it was a change from what she was used to. But still to this day she doesn't do it until then. I would whine about Christmas music, I'd whine about Christmas commercials etc. Everything bah humbug! But then I made a mistake. As a kid when we got ready to leave to Oregon to be with family (knowing we'd have to pack all the presents in the car) Mom already had the presents wrapped and under the tree before we left. One night before we left I found I was home alone. So I carefully unwrapped all of my presents and saw them then re-wrapped them. It totally ruined my Christmas experience. See I thought it would be cool to see everything or short cut the experience overall. But it didn't. It made me see that part of the fun of the Christmas season in America is the season it's self.

Arizona

People say, "it's hard to get excited about Christmas in Arizona" My folks used to say that when they lived here. I understand. They grew up where it was snowing and freezing this time of year. However I've had more Christmas' here than anywhere so I like the AZ experience. While our weather may be 80 degrees on Christmas (I have swam before on Christmas day) but it still feels like Christmas to me.

Original Premise

See when you hear Christmas music on the radio in November be thankful. A lot of songs are about your Savior and about giving to others. Be happy that there is at least some people that believe those are good things. When you see the same Christmas commercial on TV for the 50th time, be happy that you live in a country where free enterprise still (in some form) exists. When you have your kids beg you for some stupid thing that you can't understand why anyone would ever want it, just smile and be happy that your kid wants (not needs) for most things. When you hear about bad traffic, long lines and annoying people at stores, just smile and think about how it could be when a piece of hard candy was all there was for Christmas...

Conclusion

I love this season. I'm listing to KEZ all the time. I love that they play the stupidest songs (who really wants a hippo for Christmas...). I think that people are happier and more gracious this time of year. I think I am a nicer fellow to be around too. It is funny how situations or environment or others help push us along to be better. Now good luck. We are all going to be frustrated or disappointed or rude or angry or something negative this season. It'll happen. Just remember Thanksgiving is before Christmas so we can be thankful throughout the holiday season.

Another concept - PORN!

I put that in the title so you'd read it ha ha gotcha! Yesterday we had our friend Anjie and her boys Alex, Dylan and William at church with us. Gospel Doctrine was about the whole armor of God and really focused on the law of Castity. But really it was about Sex. So i though I'd post on a part of that law that has been on my mind ;)... well sort of.

So anyway it is about porn.

So what's porn? Does it have to be nudity? Does it have to be titillating? Who knows?. I heard a good definition. "It's not what you look at, it's what you see" So to me that's pretty broad, also it's tough to be honest with yourself on what your looking at. I think topless men could be porn, although its very socially acceptable (in other countries topless women are too). Right because it's not what you look at its what you see... do you see "sex" when you see a topless guy? Or do you see a kid with good muscles. I don't know each person's different. There is classic art that is nudity but we don't see it as porn right? The David is a good example, naked yes, sexy... no. But what about movies...hmmm. Ok I like certain actresses I do. But I'm not sure I'd like them naked. I like the way they look and enjoy them but I prefer them dressed. But is it Porn? I'm looking at them dressed and enjoying their appearance, shape whatever. so since I notice certain, shall I say "features" does it mean that I'm seeing porn? maybe I guess. It's a fine line that has more gray then black and white (to me). Like I said it's a concept that is different for everyone. The hardest part is being honest about what you are looking at and what you are seeing. It's amazing how two people can look at one thing and see two different things. I notice things my wife doesn't. But sometimes she'll notice things that I am not even paying attention to. So we are looking at the same thing, but seeing different things. I guess we see it and act on it or "dwell" on it is the danger. I know that we are to avoid all evils. I know that there is no way in the world to day to be perfect. I guess we should do our best to be in the right and stay out of the gray area all the time. I just think that sometimes we are thinking we are doing whats right or OK when we could be doing better. (I'm speaking to myself as if I'm writing to my self, it's just your fault for or privilege to read what I'm saying).

Social Networking... cool, or an easier way to Gossip?

Ok, So don't gossip (but it is fun). I mean really who doesn't like to get the "dirt" good or bad on someone else. Lets see I found out my youngest sister is having Twins by a phone call from her...NOT! I found out on facebook. I found out my wife's youngest sister is getting married when she called and told her sister NOT! again Drew saw it on facebook and came down stairs and told us. I don't blame the actual participants (the two younger sisters) but other's spreading the good news on a social site in their excitement before the news could be spread first hand. Now those are positive stories where no one really got hurt. But I knew of another story where someone found out about a family function via facebook that was really cool but they found out afterwards and found out that they were not invited! Now they weren't invited on purpose and for a good reason and whatever but if a phone call or email would have been sent to explain it all it would have been cool. But no they found out via facebook and feelings got hurt. So see you have to be careful. I see "facebook fights" all the time. I think they're funny ( I know I'm a bit weird, duh). But I can see how it's hard to read "tone" or "intent" on a computer screen and misunderstandings can happen. Texting, emailing can be the same way. So I guess my point is 1) don't steal someone else's good / bad news. Just because they told you, doesn't mean you can facebook it. Let them facebook it first then copy it if you really need to. and 2) if you want to comment on someone's status be nice. Don't judge. Today I saw a frustrated Mom ask for sincere advise on a parenting question, so she asked her friends on facebook for help. But really all she got was a bunch of judgments from condescending other parents. It didn't seem to me she was getting much help. I really like facebook. I like to know what others are doing. its a short cut to find out about others and tell others about me. However it is really a shortcut to not having to actually socialize with others. So Use it only as that, you still need to call people or talk to people. I can see where soon we won't have to interact face to face with other humans at all... but is that right? Home teaching via conf. call, sacrament meeting via satellite? service projects over the internet? all these ideas on how to communicate better have actually backfired and made us have more misunderstandings and more hurt feelings. Now you're reading my blog and you have no idea if I'm joking, crying or serious, because you can't see me...

I was thinking closer to 400 lbs by the end there! How's it workin' out for the LeBrons...? Not so good yet.

Because she said so

Ok, fine STACY I'll blog... (remember you asked for it).
NO ONE READS IT ANYWAY!
I'm boring.
On my mission Korean's were always trying to speak english to us. The greater part of our "investigators" were just wanting to get better at english. We called them "sucks" because really they just wanted to suck english off of us. So we always tollerated it becuase 1) they might someday somehow feel the spirit and actually want to join the church or at least learn more and 2) it would force young missionaries to interact with locals and pick up some Korean too. However in many cases they were also very funny. They would say things that common 19 year old Americans wouldn't say. Like in stead of "how are you?" they always said the more formal "how do you do?" as their common english greeting. Which of course we'd say: " oh, I do just fine" really dramatically drawn out. Also instead of: "I'm going to the store today" They'd say "The store is my desitination today" so just funny stuff. Another instead of "I don't know" or "I don't understand" they'd say "I'm in the dark on that" However my favorite of all was the mistakes. Or just like I'm sure we did in Korean they'd say things incorrect but a nice missionary would just know what they meant and move on. But not me, I'd usually get a chuckle. So though they meant they had nothing to do or they were bored, they would usually say "I'm boring", to which I'd say "You are right!" and I'd go find someone else to talk to...
late.

Summer Update: I guess summer is ok. it's been crazy it's cool everyday and still isn't too hot yet, at least not Arizona hot anyway. I think that it is screwy everwhere. We like it but the pool isn't getting used as much, at least by me. It seems the kids are as geeked about swiming either. I think that it means that August and September will be totally brutal. Vance and Marly are running int he mornings for CC this fall, Drew and Sky are finishing up baseball and the little girls are cooling off with friends and chores and church stuff all the time. Anny is crawling, walking with help and just happy as ever. She turns one on Tuesday (6/23).

Summer is over

So today is the last day of school for our oldest boy to be a Junior in HS. He is a good kid. No, he's a great kid. I never have had a real problem with him. He's a kid so I get on him once in a while but not too much, really. He's setting a good example for the underlings. However I came to the realization that today is the 1st and last day of his summer... Stacy always says that kids need "down time". Especially ours since we keep them so so busy. Vance is like me a bit that "down time" isn't so fun. So he's scheduled his whole summer. He's off to eager today to play with his friend Shawn, then off to work in Eloy for a week (5 days of 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM), once he gets home it's YM encampment, more work in Eloy, Trip to Utah for CC Camp then school starts! However it's what he wanted. I admire it I guess. I remember day after day as a teenager of "Mom, What is there to do"...

I heard that if you keep kids busy it keeps them out of trouble. However I think that a side effect is they can't relax. All of the kids are so busy all the time that when they have a day to do nothing they can't do nothing. I'm the same way. I hated being alone as a kid, which I was a lot. So I don't want my kids to have to feel that. So I make sure we do stuff. I mean camping, trips, vacations, activities etc. There would be weeks upon weeks that I'd go without ever getting out of the routine when I was kid. I don't really remember any cool vacations except trips to see family, which is fine, but I've tried to force memories upon my kids in a positive manner. So now what I've done is just that. We have some GREAT memories even just a weekend camping trip they can talk about and laugh about (and they do). It's something positive. BUT now if we do have a weekend with nothing or a week during summer vacation with nothing planned they whine about it. "Dad, What can we do". so I guess with all my efforts I still have same result. Kids need to learn to entertain themselves. I did. My parents both worked and we lived where mostly it wasn't convenient to hang out with friends. So I'd have time to do nothing. I learned to entertain myself. My kids will have to do the same... but not Vance, at least not this summer PEACE!

Camping Trip

We went on a camping trip on Memorial Day Weekend and had a FANTASTIC time. If you want to read the full scoop check out our hiking blog for the summer of '09

The Predictable Life

There isn't much going on in my life that I don't expect. I'm happy about that. I think I've always wanted a big family, even expected to have one. I thought a lot about things like family and church and sports and schools. You have these moments in your life I think where you reflect on your life to that point and look forward to what's left. I feel like I'm at summer of halftime... :) It's funny to think that in 2010 we will welcome and new baby and perhaps send our first baby off into the world. We are a revolving door now. I wonder what a 16 year old version of me would say if he ran into the 39 year old version today? would he say "Who are you?" or would he say "Sweet!"... I'm not sure. I remember on my mission once we were sitting around the mission office and there were about 6 of us late at night working and we got to talking about where we'd be at 40. One guy said he'd be a pilot and another said he'd be a bishop (HA HA) and another said he'd have 8 kids and would work for his Dad! Another said he'd be a doctor and he is! I don't know if the one ever became a Bishop, other other had their 8th kid (might have)... But I said that I'd live in Mesa and work at a job in business and have a big family! Funny kinda was right... I guess

I don't like to be surprised much... Not meaning "BOO" but more like a unexpected bill that I can't pay or a new "Problem" that I can't solve. The predictable life is great... as long as it's on your own term.... Here are a few things that I didn't predict.
1) Football Coaching... Don't know how I fumbled into this
2) 8 kids - ummm I think we passed "Big family" a while ago
3) Greatest wife ever... Either the Lord blessed me or cursed her...
4) Kids that want to do whats right... I guess I could have predicted it see #3
5) Living in the QC... I made fun of people that moved this far away before ...


There are many more I'm sure... so is your life as you expected, better I bet! Mine is much better than I expected but about what I predicted. The difference is "It's better then I thought, even though I knew it"

Schedule - whew!

So a few posts I wrote how busy we are with the summer an what not... Well Here is a snapshot of our summer. Check it out.. I have to use Excel to keep up. Not to mention work and my PMP Certification test one day in June...

Hey You!

311 is the only band that I've wanted to see this much, now I got my tickets on July 10th.

ROCK IT

New Blog

Now I'm a geek! I've started a new Blog for our hiking this summer (http://johnsonsgohiking2009.blogspot.com/). If you didn't know we are going to Emerald Lake in the San Juan National Forest in Southern Colorado. I went there three times as a kid and can't wait to share it with the next generation of Johnsons. My first trip was when I was 7. My Dad and I went with his brother and his kids and also My grandpa Johnson went. It was a good three generations trip. I don't remember that much other then the fun of fishing, eating good food and playing in the water with my cousins. My older cousins thought my dad was the coolest because he could fly fish in the river and their dad just sat on the bank of the lake. It's an amazing place... Now my kids can do the same with three generations and their cousins...

Here is a picture of where we are going, looks like heaven to me!

Busy Summer

We have a lot this summer. I don't know why. But every year it seems to be busier than the year before. EVERY saturday in July is spoken for, 2 of June's are taken and all of May and August are already gone. I think that we have shortened the summers so much that they are now basically 7 weeks. So we try to JAM everything into it that we used to do in 3 months. It's amazing that the kids get any days off at all. Not this summer they won't. They get the weekdays in June and July is spoken for. Vance wants to work this summer but I only see about 3 weeks where he can. thats not much time to earn a years worth of spending money or save for a mission. It's end of march and I'm already worried about summer. But on the other hand it is only 9 weeks away...

An acceptable year to the Lord

Our Stake has a theme this year which they call "An acceptable year to the Lord". So each month there is a sub-theme or a month theme. This month is "Making your Obediance acceptable to the Lord". so I made a "YES I AM" list and a "NO I'M NOT" list. Unfortunatly the "NO I'M NOT list is longer than the other list. I guess my point is at least now I have a list. Have you ever made a "SIN" list? It's not fun but it is actually very fulfilling. Why? Because at least once you have it on paper then you can work on it. So I challenge you to make one too.

Facebook, Mormon's Social Networking site & Basketball

So I haven't posted in a while like more than a month. It's because all of my free time on the computer has been hogged by facebook. It's been fun figuring out the facebook system. I've been happy with meeting up with old friends from high school, mission and old wards. It's a lot easier then blogging because you can say really funny things then take them back. though i think that sometimes people try a bit hard to be funny (even me) like with movie quotes or going to the edge of appropriateness. Sometimes people put stuff in their statuses that they'd never say out loud. or maybe I'm just getting to know some people a bit better ;)

Basketball is over our little team did great. Skylar and Drew had a good year. We won 4, lost 3 and tied 1. We came in 2nd but it felt great because we beat the 1st place team in our last game, who we had never beaten. Learned a lot about YMCA ball. Like NEVER play it again, because they are a "feel good" league. I could write all day about a them and their "every one's a winner" attitude. YUCK. Next year back to Wham! who has their problems but at least understands what competition is. When I was a kid I got one Trophy. ONE! it was a 3rd place baseball trophy. I was so proud of that thing. We got it after years of losing and finally coming in third in our league. It was awesome. Drew and Sky must have 30 trophies each. NOT ONE says what place they got; just what league and what sport. Sad. Everyone is a winner turns everyone into a whiner. Anyway I told you I could type all day on this. But now we are off to baseball next.

Is this a racist logo?

Vote (by comment) if this logo is a racist logo. I will let you know what I find out... by the way I know the answer already.
