Default Just got my tickets...

Just booked my flights and hotel rooms for the Florida/Georgia game in Jacksonville and the BCS National Championship game in Miami.

Not cheap but my old man wanted to do something awesome for me before I move to Colorado to finish school.

Im moving to Fort Collins to go to Colorado State, not CU.

1) I'm from there.
2) The school/campus is absolutely beautifull.
3) My brother lives there and we've become much better friends over the last few years.
4) I need to make a change and get away from all the things that keep me from doing my very best in school.
5) Master is Kineseology.

Sorry to see you leaving Ben.

It'll be nice to go back home though. Good luck if I don't see you before you leave.

Any plans on coming back to Texas when you graduate?

I know what your saying about needing a change. I feel like that myself.

Good luck with school Ben. Florida vs. Georgia should be a barn burner. The national championship game will be USC vs. someone. I don't have a feel for who it will be yet, but it will be from one of these schools --> OU, Mizzou, Georgia or Florida.

I've been there twice since March to visit him and had a great time. We floated the Poudre, camped at Pingree park, went on the Brew Tours, and got kicked out of Road 34 and Lucky Joe's for execessive drunkeness. I'm looking forward to a few years of that.

I'm really enjoying the classes I'm taking for the degree. I want to work with athletes eventually but for now I just need to focus on doing my best in the classes.
