It's never a good feeling when your favorite football team loses over the weekend. Watching your team lose on either Saturday or Sunday can make for a very lousy Monday morning when Monday mornings need no help in that department. Watching your team lose at the last second or in overtime is even worse.
Nobody can blame the avid fan for being upset when something like this happens but there are times when fans can be very cruel towards the player they blame for the loss whether it's the quarterback who throws an interception, a running back who fumbles the ball, a receiver who drops a sure touchdown, or a kicker who misses a chip shot field goal.
The latter happened to the fans of Boise State when they watched their kicker, Kyle Brotzman, miss not only one short field goal but two. The first one would have won the game in regulation and the second one came in overtime. The Bronco's opponent, Nevada, won in overtime when their kicker was successful. The loss destroyed any hopes of Boise State playing for a national championship and ended their 24 game winning streak.
Yes, there are fans who are very upset with Kyle Brotzman but there are also some really cool fans who realize how important he has been to their team since becoming their starting kicker. He has made 65 field goals over the past four years (only two other kickers have made more in that time span) and is the schools all-time point leader.
Yes, the two kicks he missed were the most important in the school's history but it must also be mentioned that the Broncos were leading by 17 at halftime. The really cool fans realize this and though Kyle missed two field goals he wasn't the only one to blame for their loss. These fans decided to show their support for him by starting a facebook page "The Bronco Nation Loves Kyle Brotzman" with almost 21,000 members to date.
Here's to you Boise State Fans for showing your support towards a player who must be feeling pretty low-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
What do you thing of the support the Boise State Fans are showing their kicker, Kyle Brotzman?

a COOL veteran's day celebration
Retired Marine, Michael Eberly, and a small group of his friends decided three years ago that they were not satisfied with the Veteran's Day celebration Clarksville, TN and Montgomery County put on annually so they forged ahead and started an alternative one.
Their celebration is open to anyone that wants to come and includes a video that honors veterans and a champagne toast to all military veterans and current military personnel as well to include soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen.
As current wars carry on Michael says he just, "wants to spread the word that there are many who care about the veteran population, which is growing more and more every day."
Here's to you Michael Eberly and friends for putting on a ceremony to honor so many-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
What do you think of the ceremony Michael Eberly and his friends put on for Veteran's Day? For more information about the ceremony please call Mr. Eberly at 931-436-0240.

COOL quotes
"If you are asked, you serve."
"You open doors for others."
"It's what you should do. You simply need to give back; to give back to others."
Three very cool, simple quotes by Jeanne Adams, a resident of Brentwood, CA, who passed away on October 18 at the age of 89. Mrs. Adams was a retired teacher who had taught for 29 years in all grades stretching from kindergarten to the eighth grade to include special education classes.
Teaching was the least she did, when she wasn't teaching she worked in the community for a multitude of organizations which encompassed the Brentwood Women's Club, the East County Historical Society, and the Summerset senior community to just name a few. When she retired in 1984 she did not rest, her and her husband of 66 years, Jack, were voted Outstanding Citizens of the Year in 1986.
Realtor, Emil Geddes, describes Jeanne with the utmost respect, "She was always so thoughtful, she would comfort, feed, sew your clothes, listen to your stories and jokes and share her own. She was a mentor and a model to 'always do what is right'."
In her lifetime Jeanne garnered many other honors such as Teacher of the Year, twice named grand marshal for Liberty High's homecoming parade, and was given the key to the city by the Mayor.
Her son, Doug, believes she will be remembered most by what she instilled in her granddaughters, "She showed them there can be balance, that you can be a respected professional and be family-oriented. She really walked the walk. While she was still busy in the community, she was always there for family. That's her legacy."
I would just like to send my condolences to the Jeanne Adams family and friends for their loss but to always remember that they were able to share in the life of such a wonderful woman who not only lead by words but also actions.
Here's to Jeanne Adams' family-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
