![]() Isn't this great?- SARR October 19, 2013Īnd inside that swirl of emotion and drama and ranting on game day threads there is a head coach calmly leading a team through this chaos and finding a way to win. I feel nervous and excited about a football game again. But more importantly, the swagger and the winning ways are back. The mistakes and the penalties and the tension and living on the edge of your seat is back. Texas Tech football hasn't been the same for me in a long time and it's back now. I haven't had those sorts of anxious moments during a Tech game in years, and I'm so happy to be in this place again. Isn't it great to be back in the ring like this? ![]() I was driving the kids around and felt that unease in my stomach and couldn't concentrate and was getting more and more upset by the minute but then I realized something. Crazy penalties that kept extending drives kept taking me back to the early 2000's and it really appeared that the game was about to get out of hand. So we had gone from potentially a 20-3 Tech lead to trailing 27-16 and a crowd getting ready to burn all the couches. A 17 point swing followed almost immediately by two more touchdowns by the Mountaineers with only one field goal by Bustin sandwiched in between. In the 2nd quarter Tech was about to take a 20-3 lead and completely take the crowd out of it but within minutes the teams were heading into halftime tied at 13. The game yesterday was incredibly nerve-wracking. It's a personal philosophy I hope is embedded in him and all of our kids, and I'm so glad to know it's now a philosophy for our Red Raiders. I've always preferred the "bold" version so we stenciled it onto the wall of our son's crib before he was born. ![]() Whether in a career, or in life or in a football game on a rainy day in Morgantown West Virginia, fortune favors the bold. The brave and the bold are often in a better position for success. Whichever version you prefer, the meanings are virtually the same. Iuvat, sometimes spelled juvat, means to help or aid.) 19 B.C.), the Roman poet Virgil used another well known variation of the saying: "Audentis Fortuna iuvat." Both Latin versions have also been translated as "Fortune favors the bold." ( Audentis, sometimes given as audentes, comes from the Latin verb audeo, which means to dare or to be bold. However, adiuvat is more literally translated as helps or aids, rather than favors (in the sense of liking or preferring someone). Fortuna with a capital F, used in some versions of the classical quote, refers to the Goddess Fortuna (Fortune). The Latin word fortis (sometimes misspelled as fortes) does mean brave and fortuna means fortune. However, like "Charity begins at home," another saying traditionally credited to Terence, "fortune favors the brave" is not quite a literal translation of what he wrote in Latin and it may have been a proverbial saying before Terence used it.Ĭredit the second version to the Roman poet Virgil: Fortune favors the bold It's a common translation of the Latin phrase "fortis fortuna adiuvat," which is spoken by a character in Act 1 of Phormio. Many sources say that the first recorded use of this ancient proverb was in the play Phormio (161 B.C.), written by Publius Terentius Afer, the Roman playwright known as Terence for short. Latin proverb traditionally attributed to Terence (c. The first can be traced back to the Roman playwright Terence: Fortune favors the brave Episode was pretty boring though.There are actually two variations of the phrase. And stop bringing in wrestlers in the show lol, they're terrible as well. Get rid of Roundtree, but seems like he's in the show for good. Anyways, i just like the 4 main agents, but some of these guests they bring in the show is awful. She needs a real man, but she's leaving the show, so whatever i guess. In one episode, they wake up in bed fully dressed lol. Her boyfriend on the show Eric Beale, is gay we all know this, so they never made a good couple. Hetty just mops around and does nothing anymore, Renée Felice Smith is leaving the show. But I'm not feeling Roundtree, damn sure don't care about any of the wrestlers they keep adding to the storylines. I'm use to Fatima Namazi, she's pretty good. They're also bringing in way too many damn characters. But in this episode he doesn't seem to know what' he's doing. An FBI Agent knows his way around the streets, he should know how to do interrogations, well why does he come off as if he's still in training? He looks completely clueless to what's going, when we seen him do impossible jumps, climbs in a previous episode. Alright, so this episode starts off with Agent Devin Roundtree.
