New Fame

The Response got its first plug today. Sure, it happened to be from the Mother Ship, but a plug is a plug. Unfortunately, the Mother Ship also took shots at my work ethic and commitment. You heard right. Greg Brinck just took a shot at my work ethic and commitment. Greg Brinck. Work ethic. Commitment. Anyone? Maybe I'm being too harsh. Greg has excellent commitment and work ethic for everything related to Young Life. It's definitely where God wants him right now. But was anyone else worried about 2012 when Greg graduated from college significantly ahead of his eight and a half year timeline? With Greg graduated, things could hit the fan anytime now. On the other hand, if your name is Ken Tankersley, I'd like to point out that Greg is just a dog-gone great worker and is doing his darndest to take advantage of the chance of a lifetime.

In other news, KU football got trampled by Baylor 55-7 on Saturday. Is Kansas going to a bowl? No. But things may not be as bleak as Greg made it sound. I mean, looking ahead, they can realistically . . . well ok, maybe not. But they do have that really awesome . . . oh, no he graduated. At least you get Colorado at home. Kansas can definitely possibly keep that one competitive. But, Greg is right: Kansas basketball starts soon. And Kansas will be good. They will head into the season ranked around #6. Gotta be excited about the Morris brothers returning and possible big contributions from Sophomore Elijah Johnson and heralded top recruit Josh Selby. Also, Kansas avoids powerhouse Northern Iowa on this year's schedule.
