"It Has Been a Great Ride"

Like I said, no matter what the outcome, I am so proud of you, Tyler. You have been such an asset to the Mustangs. You have been a joy to watch. Today, the end of another chapter....the beginning of a new chapter...life after football, now on with your Senior year of college, graduation and life! The tears have arrived, hours later, but just know how much I love you . I hurt for you, and I celebrate with you. You have given it your all. You are a wonderful young man. In your words, "It has been a great ride". Love, Mom

Back and forth, back and forth. Tyler made his 34th and final career touchdown, and the extra point kick was good, tying the game 31-31 with 2 minutes left. I didn't get a shot of that clock.

Field Goal....good...with 3.3 seconds remaining in the game. Final score 31-34-

Mustangs Lose Heartbreaker In NAIA Quarterfinals
Morningside’s hopes of moving on in the 2008 NAIA Football Championship Series were dashed when Lindenwood’s Halley Ferrell kicked a game-winning 25-yard field goal with three seconds left to defeat the Mustangs 34-31 in Saturday’s quarterfinal round action at Elwood Olsen Stadium.
Ferrell, who had missed three field goal attempts earlier in the contest, sent the seventh-ranked Lions into next Saturday’s semifinals with an 11-1 record. Sixth-ranked Morningside, which bowed out in the quarterfinals for the third year in a row, closed the books on a 10-2 season.

Always with a smile...Dad is proud.....doesn't always say it, but he is.
