Weeeeee are the Championssss
My roommate Blake Day and myself won the BYU Men's Doubles Racquetball tournament this morning.
After a first round loss, we fought our way back to the championship. Our opponents, Mr. Thiriot and Mr. Glade, were formidable opponents. You have to win two games out of three to win the match. We lost our first game, destroyed them 15-3 our second game, and won 11-5 the third game to win the match!
It wasn't over.
Because they hadn't lost, we had to beat them twice (double elimination). After the first match, Mr. Thiriot started having back spasms. We had to reschedule the second match for the following night. He showed up and said "I am too injured to play". So.. after a lot of discussion, we said "Okay. Tomorrow morning 7am."
We showed up about 6:50 and realized they had been there for a while warming up. Their wives were also in attendance. We lost the first game 15-12, destroyed them 15-5 the second game, and in the third game we were down 10-7. Game on the line, one point to go, I returned their serve and then Blake killed it in the back corner. Down 10-7, we scored four points in a row to win 11-10. Victory! We won the championship!!!!
It was a great morning. I will post pictures soon. I love racquetball.

Humanitarian Project
Here is the idea:
Give 100-500 pounds of food a week to low-income, homeless, disabled individuals in Provo each week. Allow missionaries in the MTC to deliver the food and share the Gospel with them on site or at a local site under close supervision.
How?
Currently ALL of BYU's extra food is used to make mulch. Fertilizer. Etc. How much food? Thousands of pounds each week.
Let's save 100-500 pounds and give it to those who actually need it: Human Beings.
What about the flowers and trees?
Let's raise tuition by 1 dollar for each student to make up for the cost of mulch. (1 dollar times 25,000 students = $25,000.)
Why?
An average of 8000 meals a month were served in 2008 to needy individuals right here in Provo.
Why can't BYU contribute?
People need food, missionaries need people to teach, and all of the resources are available. The problem is that they are not being used for the best purpose. There is a better way.
What do you think? Ideas?
