Catching up with Kehl Vol. VIII

“I was up late last night - didn’t’ leave Applebee’s until about 11:30.  Thanks to their Direct TV sports package, that has become my hotspot every week for the last few months.  Drum roll please….they actually have the Mtn. network!!!! I know, it takes a second to sink in.  So anyway, every Saturday afternoon of the college football season has found me at Applebee’s cheering loudly for my Cougs.  In fact, when the poor Huskies had their PAT blocked, preserving a Y victory - I was yelling so loud everyone in the restaurant certainly thought I was a lunatic.

What was I doing last night - oh nothin much, just cheering on my most hated enemy, the manifestation of all evil as I know it…the Utes!! A Dirty, Nasty, but nonetheless Necessary evil.

Thanks to a stumble in Fort Worth (that was a ROUGH Thursday night at Applebee’s in Clifton, NJ - the waitresses thought I was gonna explode) - we were knocked out of the drivers seat in regards to our goals of a Conference Championship and January bowl bid.  BUT, as I told some of the guys in Provo after that game - we were still on the bus.  Well, thanks to our friendly foes, this time clad in black, to the north - we are back in the driver’s seat…controllers of our own destiny.  What more can you ask for - November 22nd will be for all the marbles!!

A couple answers to questions:

Quinn,
Could you get Brian to comment on Giants GM Jerry Reese?

Ralph, I absolutely love Jerry Reese.  He is a very hands on GM, and it has paid off for all to see - one of the best Super Bowl victories ever last year, and a possible defense in the big show again this year.  Talking to some of the veterans on the team who have been in 4 or 5 other organizations - they say the Giants are hugely unique in the depth we have at EACH position (i.e., how many teams can say that their Quarterback AND backup QB are both 1st overall draft picks - plus one of the NFL’s best O Lines to protect the investments at Quarterback) and that is largely due to the wisdom of Reese in how he built this team and the guys he went after.  He is a great person, a great GM - and I think there are only good things to come with him in that position.

Bryan is the kind of quality person any young lady would be proud to bring home to meet her parents!

As it stands, Bryan has been dating a senior BYU cheer leader. She’s barely 5 feet tall.

Now, if I were the physical specimen that he is…I would want to marry volleyball, basketball or track star.

Bryan, we want to see 4 or 5 son’s of Bryan Kehl playing Cougar football in the future, not gymnasts!

You are the best!

Allan, I really appreciate your kind words and support.  I too hope to see 4 or 5 of my kids playing in Cougar Blue.
PS That cheerleader wants you to know she’s 5′4″  ;)”
