Moving On

God grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and some mean ass kung fu to make up the difference.       -- Anonymous

Moving on from the schedule fiasco, not that we really can as it'll follow us all season, but moving on, here's a profile of former Warrior QB Shawn Withy-Allen, who may be playing his final season in the National Indoor Football League before moving on.

A rewarding new job off the field that is demanding more and more time, and an impending wedding have forced the 27-year-old Withy-Allen to contemplate ending his football career after this season.

“Unless the NFL calls, I’ll probably hang it up after this year because I can’t foresee myself holding down the kind of schedule much longer,’’ Withy-Allen said earlier this week. “It would be great to go out on top.’’

Withy-Allen has certainly been playing like a quarterback on a mission this season.

During the Guard’s 68-28 thrashing of the Greensboro Revolution last Saturday, Withy-Allen threw for six touchdowns and ran for two more. He completed 15 of 24 passes for 165 yards.

“We have a championship team here,’’ Withy-Allen said. “We obviously have a lot of talented players, but I think it’s the chemistry that makes us so strong. We know each other so well.

Great to read about the success he's had in football and in life.

And speaking of former UH QBs, just a reminder that Nick Rolovich will be leading his AFL team, the Las Vegas Gladiators, against the Nashville Kats this Sunday. If you have FSN West or South, you can watch it on TV.

And the intrepid Sportsbow, he of the numerous recruiting threads and who was instrumental in the Mississippi State near-miss (but oh what could've been), has been posting a link to the Warriorsrespond.com video page on The  Big  Three. Below is a video he and others have been pointing out. It's an episode of Under the Lights, which profiles June Jones, Jerry Glanville and the Warriors as they got ready to play Alabama last year in Tuscaloosa. Lots of good interviews, behind-the-scenes, as well as game footage. It's about 20 minutes long.



Please visit Warriors Respond for more videos, cool merchandise as well as MP3s of the music they play during Warriors games. Some songs just sound better and better, while others still sound like Polynesian Cultural Center as envisioned by Yanni. But it's all good.
