Irish Wear Green! (Notre Dame Green Jersey Game)

 Well Fighting Irish fans! Today is that special day where we all come together and put on the green in support of the Notre Dame football team in their annual Green Jersey game.

Now the history of the green jerseys is a bit disputed as some say it started back in 1921. But so far the most confirmed date was in 1926 in a game against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Which the Fighting Irish came out on top 28-0 over Penn State.

Head coach Frank Leahy then made the switch green jerseys full-time in 1943 which was his third season as head coach and also where the Irish won the National title. Notre Dame kept the green jerseys until 1959. Although they brought them out for some games during the early 60s.

Then Ara Parseghian arrived in South Bend in 1964 and permanently made the colors blue and gold. It wasn't until 1977 under head coach Dan Devine brought back the green jerseys against arch rival USC Trojans. Notre Dame won that game 49-19 as the Irish were on their way to another National title led by quarterback Joe Montana.

For me personally, I really enjoy the green jerseys more than the navy blue and gold. I guess I just really enjoy seeing the combo of green and gold.

But lets get back to the future as Notre Dame is set to do battle with Louisville at 3:30 p.m. on Peacock. The Irish are currently on a two game winning streak while the Cardinals are still undefeated at (3-0) with wins over Jacksonville State, Georgia Tech and Austin Peay. So Notre Dame will be their first ranked opponent.

I can't wait to watch this game. So go out there everyone and put on the green and support the Fighting Irish!

Game time is at 3:30 p.m. Live on Peacock!

Go Irish!

Until next time 

God Bless and Be Safe! 🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
