If the Juniors have been performing like they've been doing in the past competitions, I'll say it'll be a total sweep by them. The Juniors are definitely a strong group this year; I hope all do well in that competition, I'll be happy with whoever may win if it's one of them!

Sorry to hear that, Megan. Last second touchdowns are definite heartbreakers; not fun whatsoever. And yoy for Jamie on her team winning Homecoming! Our team won homecoming also! 40-0. Not that fun for the band because we were playing our school song all night. :laugh: But blow outs are always awesome. Our marching band did well and our fireworks display was awesome, best I've seen yet! And so far this season, only 14 points have been scored on us! Now it's off to the Homecoming dance tonight!

That's what it's seeming like everyone will have to start playing again...unfortunately. Boy do I love that game. :happy: But nothing for me yesterday to today. Oh well. I'll survive.

Sigh. Nothing for me yesterday. :sleep: And yes I was to busy to post. So you got both of those right, Jason. :laugh: So much for that feeling. I'll just keep on a-waiting still.

True. A lot of kids probably got the same letter I did, was about asking to come to campus for a visit. But then again it's a 2000 student private college, so maybe not that many would get it. So I feel kind of special then. :happy: And what Jason said is very true; walk-ons are always accepted to try out. But nothing for me today. :sad: But I have a funny feeling that I may get one tomorrow. I don't know why, it's just a really strong feeling.

True, true. Minnesota is doing great. Your running back, Laurence Maroney, is simply amazing. He's been doing wonders for my team in my Fantasy College Football league. I can't wait for the Minnesota v. Wisconsin game. That's going to be a good game; maybe the deciding for the champs. The two best running backs in the Nation collide in that one, Calhourn and Maroney. I'd love to go see that game. Big game next week: Michigan v. Michigan State. I'd like to see Michigan win to highten Wisconsin's ranking in Big 10. Another good game is Minnesota v. Penn State. Penn State has an awesome defense; going to be a good game. Ton of good matchups next week. Go Badgers! :happy:

Agreed. Football games are definitely one of the best things about high school. Homecoming week thhis week. Should be an easy win for us; I'm predicting 45-17. Homecoming games are always fun; our band is finally marching (and it's an awesome show, probably our best ever), fireworks after wards, dance the next day, etc. Good times.

Heck yes. Wisconsin is #17 on AP and Coaches! We are definitely a contender for the Big 10 Champs! I have a good feeling about this year. Go Badgers!

Yay for Megan on getting one from York! And you got a whole page written!? That's pretty rare; congrats on getting that. And yay for Sezi on officially joining this thread! Having a picture like that in your new club must be pretty darn awesome. Beth is a pretty darn awesome gymnast. Nothing for me the past two days. Oh well. But I did get another letter from a college I'm looking into. So yay for me!

Packer's are doing quite better than I even expected...then the fourth quarter comes around. Then we get sloppy and give up big opprotunities to win. :sleep: And we just need to get less penalties all-around and maybe tighten up our defense a bit more. It would be nice to see them win to boost up their confidencem which is really low now. :sad: But win or loss, I'm still a die-hard fan!

Awesome to hear that you're undefeated so far! And I'm pretty sure we're 5-0 and undefeated as well! Still #2 in the state! And our last game was an easy win: 52-0! Go us!

Holy wow! She sure did send you a lot of stuff; awesome pics too. Congrats on getting a reply from her! That must be totally awesome getting one from another country. And it looks like we all got replies this week; that's a first. Yay for all of the mail-senders here!

Yay! Congrats Jamie on finally getting your two letters! And even cooler, on the same day! Congrats again. And what a coincidence. I also got a letter from Shayla and Ashley yesterday!!! :happy: Basically the same responses as Jamie got. I'm guessing I got the same pic of Ashley because mine too was on "older pic". And also got a real pic from Shayla only it said "To Cody <3 Shayla Worley". Both were really cute letters.

I finally realized how much gymnasts actually work since I got my coaching job. The highest level at my gym is a Level 6 and the coaches really push them. I can't imagine dong that for 4-8 hours like all International Elties do. I know when I work out hard for even an hour, I get tired and really don't like to do anything after. So I can see why it's taking a while. Plus, like Megan said, school doesn't really help at giving one more time. And it's also competition season, so that also doens't help. And I'm quite sure that the gymnasts don't not like to get fanmail. And I'm quite sure they don't. Heck I'm sure love getting it from fans and don't hate them, especially like dedicated ones such as Jamie. And especially the Juniors I can imagine absolutely adore fanmail knowing that people actually like their gymnastics; that's a huge boost in my opinion. And don't give up, Jamie. I'm also in that same boat on waiting. And I can imagine Megan is also on that boat as well. So pretty much just don't give up and tomorrow is just another day away and you never know, it may come tomorrow!

Just checked the rankings and found that we're #2 in the state in our division. We rock! We're playing an alright team Friday, should be a good win.

*Sigh* Nothing from any gymnasts today. Oh well, I've survived this long. I think I can survive even longer. :happy: But I did get a letter from Gustavus Aldophus College out in Minnesota. Seems to be a really nice college. And it has everything I'm currently looking for plus a gymnastics team. So yay!

Pretty interesting game right here. Here'd be my picks: Tessa or Ivana: Tessa! Tessa or Shawn: Tessa! Ashley or Shayla: Gah! Toughie here...if I had to pick it'd be Ashley. But they're both great! Shawn or Sam: Shawn! Sam or Brittany Ranzy: Sam! Rachel York or Cortni Beers: Cortni! Bianca or Natasha: Even tougher! I hate to choose between but my pick'd be Natasha. Shayla or Bianca: Gah! It's like for 3rd place or something! But my pick is Shayla here. Shawn or Shayla: Shayla! Sarah DeMeo or Ivana: Ivana! Monica or Ashley: Ashley! Cortni or Makayla: Cortni! Makayla or Natasha: Natasha! Sarah or Sam: Sarah! Morgan Evans or Brittany Ranzy: Morgan! Randi Lau or Randy Stageberg: Another tough one. They're both adorable. But I'm picking Randy! I can't really decide my FAVORITE Junior now. They're all great it's hard to choose. I'll think about it and tell everyone later.

Oh man. Come-behind wins are the best. Congrats to your team on winning. Beat our rivals 21-0! The crowd was definitely around 4000, and that's good considering there are on 2500 students combined at both schools and half don't go to games. :smile: And being in the band is awesome because you're actually playing on the field; go me! Almost as good as playing. Now we just have one more big opponent and we can become Confrence Champs again and go undefeated! :smile:

Wee! Congrats to Natasha for winning the competition! And congrats to Bianca also! The US sure has some pretty darn good Juniors. Can't wait to see them in the future. So is this meet, the 2005 International Junior Gymnastics Competition, like the worlds to seniors? Or is there another big meet coming for them? Anywho, glad to see we did so well.

Wow! Congrats to you, Megan! Pen pals with Tessa, that must be pretty darn awesome! Glad you two pretty much are pretty much pen pals! Congrats again! :smile: I may have a pen-pal if Natasha asks to write back again. That'd be a pretty good sign, I think. That'd be so incredibly awesome if that happened to little ol' me. :happy: But no mail for me today. Oh well.

Heh. Yep, we both would be awaiting Memmel replies. Natasha's letter was the first I got from the second batch I sent out. Let me check when I sent them. *Goes checks* I sent Aug 30. and got a reply on Sept. 10. So that'd be 12 days total. The soonest I think I got a reply. So I'm predicting I'll get a reply next weekend. :smile: But nothing for me the past two days, haven't been on to tell. :happy: Heck, there wasn't even any mail yesterday. Hopefully I get one soon, but I'm patient. Also, that's a good list of gymnasts you sent letters to, Megan. :smile:

Well, according to USPS.com, it takes 3 days from Minneapolis to Honolulu. So I'm guessing it shoudl get to Randi in 5 days. :smile: Yeah, I'm so psyched about that it isn't even funny. And always go to keep a high spirit, they should come soon enough! :happy: Wow. That's quite a big waiting list. Mine is as follows: Patterson (I doubt I'll ever get it though ), Priess, Bieger, Worley, Beers, Memmel, and Flohr. It's not that big, but it's a good group. :smile: I would like to write more letters, but I have no stamps left and I'm flat out broke. Hopefully I get paid for my coaching job soon. But my boss lost my W-4's so hopefully he finds them fast. :laugh:

My school won 55-0 last weekend! We rock! My prediction was quite close. Next week is our rivalry game!!! 4000 people are expected to be there; it's going to be a madhouse! :smile: I'm quite sure we'll do well since they never beat our two grades ever. But we're not going to be on TV like we usually are. :sad: Oh well. This weekend is also the 100th game between Green Bay West and Green Bay East. That's going to be packed also, we were going to have it in Lambeau, where they used to play, but the Packers wouldn't let them. :mellow:

Aww. Randi is so adorable; I hope she continues to do well in the future. :smile: And glad to see you're writing to Natasha, Megan. She seems so nice from her letter. Wee! Wrote my reply to Natasha! Now I just need to pop it in the mailbox tomorrow and it's on its way. That'd be so uberly-awesome if I could reply to her again I couldn't even imagine! :happy:

Heh. That'd be awesome if that really happened, Megan. Hope it does. :smile: And your welcome, Jamie. Weehee! I got a reply from Natasha Kelley! I guess my feeling didn't fail me. :happy: It was a really nice handwritten letter and a great autograph pic. And the best part is she wants me to write back!!!!! So I guess that means I have sort of a pen-pal!!! Woohoo! I'm so psyched; going to write her and mail it on Monday! Luckily I have still gave a pair of stamps and stationary! :happy: Here's the pic I got from her (minus the copyright): Clickity
