What a beautiful day for football. The Chargers were at home (thank goodness) against Michigan Tech. This game is always a big game. Both teams came into it with only one loss. Hillsdale was able to pull out yet another win. Nate did see limited playing time (3 plays on the punt team). His foot is still not 100%. The good thing is if he doesn't play, he doesn't get hurt.
Nate is definitely making the most out of football in spite of his injury. He is the one to watch on the sidelines. Not a week has gone by where a Charger Fan has not made a comment either to Dan and I or Nate about his enthusiasm.
This season has been personally disappointing for Nate. He worked so hard in the off season and started the year so well. The injuries have proven to be just too much for him. Even though Nate has the option of coming back for a 5th year he decided, this week, that he is going to graduate in May. It was difficult watching him the last couple of weeks. He has definitely been struggling with this decision. In talking after the game yesterday - he is ready to move on. While he will have fond memories of Charger Football you can tell that it's time for him to launch.
Because of all the tape, padding, and other injury aides - Nate has to wear two different shoes. His shoes and a much wider shoe to house all the stuff.
We're all wondering what we're going to do on Saturdays next fall-we have all the tailgating stuff!!
