So Very Frustrating It was an exciting � yet ultimately horribly disappointing � weekend of football. First up was Ian�s football game on Saturday. Two evenly matched team played their best football of the season. And with time running out, and Ian�s team behind on the scoreboard, the Hillmen managed to drive the ball down to their opponent�s 5 yard line. With literally 3 seconds left to the game, on fourth down none-the-less, the Hillmen attempted a pass into the endzone which missed the out-stretched arms of our tight-end by the smallest of margins. The disappoint in the outcome was offset � at least for the 5th and 6th grade boys on Ian�s team � by the arrival of cup cakes to celebrate a teammates birthday. The parents had to pick themselves off the floor. And the last second near-hits played out for my again in the Notre Dame � USC game and the Bears � Atlanta game. End of the game drives that failed to deliver a much needed touchdown. Granted, both the Fighting Irish and the Bears had opportunities to prevent themselves from being put into such a precarious position.  The Bears continually shot themselves in the foot Sunday night with turnovers, dumb penalties, and stupid plays. Too many men on the field for a punt return? A 61-yard kick-off return after tying up the game? Orlando Pace�s pre-snap lunge across the line? Who�s coaching these guys? Of all the games, the Bears game was the most frustrating to watch. There is no reason for them to not win that game. In fact, Tim Souers� duncehelemt perfectly encapsulates how the Chicago Bears played last night.
