Woooohoooo!!!(except homework)
The Fort Hays State mens and womens basketball teams are doing heating up! Currently the men's team(18-1) is ranked #2 in Div. II and is playing great basketball. Its the highest the Tiger men have been ranked since the 96-97 season when they went 34-0 and finished as national champs ranked #1. The women are 16-3 and playing well also. Both have big games this Thursday as we host Metro St. from Denver who are in the top three in the conference for both the men and the women. Thursday will be fun for me too as I have been doing some marketing for Papa John's working with FHSU and we will be sponoring the game on Feb. 2nd. At halftime there will be a pizza eating competition where in teams of two, four teams will compete to see who can eat the most pizza in 4 minutes. It will be like a tag-team deal where only one person can be at the table at a time. It should be fun and create a little halftime excitement for both Papa John's and the Tigers. The winning team gets a $100 gift certificate from Papa John's.
As far as the Jayhawks go they are playing well...of course last time I posted about thier success they went and dropped two in a row to lowly KSU and Mizzou. Sad. So (knock on wood) I hope it doesn't happen again. They are in the thick of the BigXII race.
As for me I am busy with reading way too much stuff for class. Its been nuts. I average about 100 pages for one class, 2 chapters for another, chapter for bible study and I'm on hold for any reacreational reading. I can understand it for my leadership class that is my "capstone" class for my degree but I have a gen-ed, basic 100 level class that is killing me like its a capstone class too. I don't get some professors I guess. Oh well life goes on.
For those of you that were aware of my moms health thanks for your prayers. She seems to be doing well and healing from surgery. I guess she has to be home for the next two weeks but I'm thinkin' what crazy stuff she's been dealing with she needs as long as she needs. It was cool as my mom was in the hospital I had emailed Peter, friend of mine from Kenya, to ask for prayer and his father had just went into the hospital and we got to specifically pray for similar situations dealing with our family and their health. The situation itself wasn't cool but to meet eachother through prayer a world away was great. He sent me Phil 4:4-8 as encouragement and I really stopped and looked at it in many more ways than usual. We have no reason not to rejoice. No reason.
Well homework awaits me so I'd better run...Much Love to you all...Until Dukey Drops again......

Oh and Happy Birthday old man(Feb 1st)...what 59 or 60 this year? J/K I love ya pops! Its dad for now but by age you sure creepin' up on "grandpa" status.
Luke,
Best wishes for tonight's game and the Papa Johns event. I am glad to hear that your Mom is at home and recovering. That is great news! Try to hang in there with your classes... and all the reading. :)Catch ya later!
Well, I thought I should humble myself and admit that K-state is again stinkin' up the basketball scene. I think coach Jimmy may get the boot, which is fine by me. Anyway we lost to Baylor last night...I hang my head. We were Baylors win on a 21 game losing streak (so I've been told), oh the shame!
Thought you might enjoy my sulking and I thought I owed it to you after my bragging.
