Warren's Team on TV

Warren team was taped by CW 33 during their playoff game. While the Bucs lost to the Vikings the team played hard. They were on the 9pm news on Tuesday.

You see the video here. http://cw33.trb.com/

Look for the video titled Dave's Little Legends Vikings vs. Buccaneers.

UPDATE: The link has been rolled off the CW 33 website. I am going to try to get it on video. Let me know if you want a copy.

Thoughts on Moving

For those that do not know the Duke family is moving. We outgrew this house about 2 months after moving in when Michelle got pregnant with KayLyn. So 9 years after we moved in we are putting the house up for sale and moving to Frisco. Reason one for moving…Michelle has to drive to Frisco to work each day. Neither one of us like that very much.

So as I sit typing this, I realize that there will be some weird things that I will miss. One of those is the airplane noise. For the past 9 years we have lived under the approach and take off pattern for DFW (mostly the approach due to prevailing winds in N. Texas being from the south). So day in and day out part of the sounds of life are those airplane. It will be weird not hearing them. It brings to mind these 3 days after 9/11 where I would walk outside on not see or hear a single commercial airplane. The only planes in sight were those jets flying CAP. Glad to know they were there, but really wish they did not have to be.

Anyway, I realized that the 9 years at this address represents the longest I have lived any single address in my life. That equates to just over 25% of my life so far at this address. Here’s hoping I can replicate this in the new house, because I hate moving.

The house went on the market today. We will keep you up to date as things progress.

Let's not forget KayLyn

Just so that no one thinks all I blog about is football, there is always politics. No, wait, no one wants to hear me rant anymore about politics. Raise your hand if you have not heard me talk politics. (Cue crickets) Okay, we will get to that later.

Any way, we have had a request for pictures of KayLyn with her new haircut, which is not exactly new, but here they are. She is showing off her homework and showing off her team spirit in support of her brother.

Oh, by the way she made the A Honor Roll for the First 6 Weeks. All As. Not bad at all.

Bucs Make the Playoffs

Well, despite what was an overall lackluster performance by the team as a whole in the loss on Saturday to LD Green, the Bucs are in the playoffs. Warren played twice on defense during the game and recorded his first tackle. We did not get a picture of the tackle, but there are other pictures to post.

Saturday, Oct 20 will be the first playoff game. The Bucs (4-3-1) will play the undefeated Vikings at 7:30pm. Obviously the Bucs come into this as the underdogs. The fact remains that there is a reason that these games are played, and it is because anything can happen. As coaches, we are pulling out all the stops to motivate these guys. We are offering rewards for the defensive line for sacks, rewards for the defensive backfield for Interceptions, and for the O-line if we get 2 100 yard rushers in the game. All these rewards are contingent on winning the game.

All I can say at this point is GO BUCS!!!! Beat the Vikings!!!
