Underdog Fans

 Jacob's football team started out the season with 2 losses, but they won the next few games and surprisingly went to the "playoffs."  We were pretty shocked when they won their playoff game by one point against the undefeated team.   One of the awesome things about living in a smaller community is that you get some bigger opportunities.  He got to play in the championship game at ISU on their field with fun music pumping us up and an announcer recognizing the boys who were in on the tackles and catches.   Football doesn't usually get me emotional, but the atmosphere at the Holt Arena and seeing my not so little boy rush out onto the field for the starting lineup really got me choked up.  The game started out with an interception which the opposing team ran in for a touchdown during the first series of the game.  But the boys kept their heads up and answered the score with a touchdown in the same quarter.  There were no more points scored the rest of the game.  Jacob's team lost by one point with a score of 7-6 because they were not able to score the extra point after their touchdown.  Now that the madness of football season is finally over at our house (except for the BYU games) I'm looking forward to a more normal evening schedule :)
