Oh glorious day!
I slept until 7:00 this morning. And I still got 7 hours of sleep! It was awesome! Getting up and knowing I had plenty of time to get around, and that I can stay up late tonight and do it all again tomorrow if I want to! Just good good good! I’m just not a morning person, really. I was going to go in early and work on my car but it’s raining and supposed to rain all day and I don’t want to have to mess with trying to paint and be safe to drive home in the rain. I’ll wait until more sunny days. Instead I think I’m going to take some time before work and finally go get the El Camino tagged. Then maybe I’ll take a nap before work!
Yeah. You’re jealous.

Can you spell victory? I can!!! On Saturday, November 11, 2006 at 7pm on ABC, the Kansas State Wildcats were scheduled to take on the #4 Texas Longhorns. Everybody was a little weary about the Wildcats winning with how they’ve been playing up until this game. But everybody’s minds were about to change.
Opening drive, Texas gets the ball and scores. Also, their all-star quarterback is hurt and won’t return the rest of the game.
Kansas State returns the kickoff. Josh Freeman steps onto the field and leads the Cats to their first drive score. Tied 7-7.
2nd Quarter: Cats couldn’t get it going again and had a punt blocked for a Texas touchdown. Texas 14, Kansas State 7.
But they then bounced back and Josh Freeman hooked up with James Johnson for a touchdown. Tied 14-14.
The Cats held Texas to no score then Yamon Figurs returned a punt for 52 yards. Then Leon Patton runs for a touchdown. Cats up 21-14 at the half.
Then third quarter comes. It didn’t start off too good for the Cats, but then the heat got turned on.
Texas blocked another punt and their running back ran it in for a touchdown. Tied yet again 21-21.
Then the Cats come back but don’t get anything started. Yet.
Texas retrieves the punt, but then on the fourth play, the running back fumbles and the Cats recover.
Then came the two trick plays in a row for the touchdown. Jordy Nelson throwing to Rashaad Norwood, then Leon Patton throwing to Cedric Wilson for the Wildcat touchdown. Cats are up 28-21.
Then Texas fumbles again and the Cats recover. Josh Freeman hooks up with Yamon Figurs again for a touchdown. Cats up 35-21.
Texas gets their punt blocked, and Josh Freeman runs it in for a touchdown. Cats up 42-21. Can you believe it??
Texas would come back and score some. Cats up 42-35.
Then Jeff Snodgrass kicks a field goal to bring the Cats up 45-35. Enough lead to win the game, we thought.
Then Texas comes back and scores a quick touchdown. Cats up 45-42.
Texas tries an onside kick, which only goes 5 yards and Jordy Nelson recovers for the Cats.
First down Cats with 44 seconds left on the clock. Cats Win! Cats Win!
Then everybody rushes onto the field as shown in the picture above. If you would like a bigger picture, click here.

Great Game!
That game between KSU and Texas was awesome! Did anyone have a chance to go see it in person? I’m not going to pretend to know all about football, but I sure do enjoy watching it and the game Saturday night is one reason why… I was all by myself, yet kept finding myself jumping up off the couch and hooping and hollering. At first I was excited simply because we were just making it a ‘good game’. That third quarter it dawned on me that we can actually WIN! Beating the team ranked fourth in the nation is quite a feather in Prince’s helmet!
So….are the Wildcats going to a bowl game this year?
09.21.06I’m so excited!
We are still planning on leaving by 3p.m. on Saturday. Duane took off this afternoon for El Paso, TX, but will be back early, early Saturday morning. Ya know, it isn’t like we have any wild and crazy plans while we are there but I am so excited that we are going to get spend some time with you, Matt and Andrea!
the un-named chicken sangwhich
the title is misspelled on purpose…….OK I’m sitting at home I’m hungry so i decided to get creative with what i had in the fridge. i go digging through find some bacon, a boneless chicken breast, provolone cheese (the real stuff not that pansy cheap cheese we are talking the 5 bucks a pound cheese), some spicy honey mustard. OK i fry up the bacon while i slap the chicken breast on the ole George Foreman grill, then i get two slices of bread throw it in the toaster. after the chicken breast is done i throw it on one of my pieces of toast top it with a slice of cheese and a few slices of bacon top it off with some honey mustard and slapped the other piece toast on top.
now i saved the recipe but i need a name for this Delicious sandwich
The Return of the Jello Shots!
I decided to make my second batch of jello shots today. This time we combined strawberry jello with rum, like a strawberry daquiri. Everyone says they are too strong, but I think they are pretty darn tasty! Cheers, everyone!
Hell’s Yeah!
You may have heard in recent months the phrase “hell’s yeah”. I would simply like to inform everyone that it was I who invented the saying. Infact, I wasn’t even aware that it had caught on until I saw those damn PSP squirrels on TV saying “Hell’s Yeah!”
You may be curious as to the origin of Hell’s Yeah. After all, anyone can claim to invent something, but there is a very specific heritage that belongs to the phrase, and I, Matt Althouse, am at it’s root. As most know I’m a big AC/DC fan. And one day listening to the song Hell’s Bells on a beautiful day driving in the ol’ ’79 with some friends, I decided to exclaim “Hell’s Yeah!” in place of “Hell’s Bells”. So my friends and I start using the phrase for daily expressions of exclamitory approval.
Fast forward 4 or 5 years, and next thing you know these friggin’ PSP squirrels are saying it like it’s trendy, and now everybody is saying it. So I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew how I’m a mad crazy trend setter.
That is all.
