Nic’s Last Football Game
Nic Burrell in MWSC vs. NWMSU
Northwest Missouri State spotted Missouri Western a 16-0 lead but battled back to win Saturday’s NCAA Division II playoff tilt in St. Joseph. The Bearcats outscored the Griffons, 27-7, in the second half to advance to the region semifinals against #2 Midwestern State, out of the Lone Star Conference.
Gallatin grad Nic Burrell played every snap on defense for the Griffons and registered eight tackles, including one for loss. The MWSU senior linebacker also spent a busy afternoon dropping into pass coverage against the Bearcats’ best receiver, #4 Tyler Shaw.
For every tackle #36 had this year you could hear some where in the audience, “YEAH NIC!!!”, from his very proud momma.
We were blessed this year to get to go to every game, away and home.
Here are a few pictures of some of his fans.
His girlfriend, Megan.
His sister, Kayli. That’s Big Ran in the back ground.
His nephew, Hudson.
His Grandma and Grandpa Burrell
His sister, Kamille and Megan
The Griffon and his sister, Madison
His sign holding niece, Kennedy
There were many other fans there, too. Tom, Alan, Brice, Bill, Steve, Bobby, Bob, Jimmy, Mitch, Bradley, Stephanie, Aaron, Justin, Gracyn, Dianna, Mike, Kelly, Michael, Tony, Nana, Bailey, Marty, and Marcus just to name a few.
I’m pretty sure Coach Partridge is telling Nic what a great job he just did!!!
It was a great ride!!

Happy Thanksgiving
Today I am cooking for the Thanksgiving dinner that I have at my house on Saturday.
So far the cranberry sauce is cooling and I am starting on the cornbread dressing.
I found a couple of pictures of Thanksgiving past to share with you.
This is from left to right, Kamille, my brother Kevin’s friend, Kevin, Dad, and Kayli.
The kiddy table.
From left to right – Madison, Nic, and Mom.
This was the Thanksgiving that Big Ran was in Afghanistan. We are still very thankful that he is back with us today.
Well, back to work!
We all miss you Dad.

Let’s Catch Up Again!!
So, we lost our football game in the playoffs. I have some more great pictures of Nic, and of some of the great family and friends, that went to some of the games to help support him, to show you hopefully tomorrow.
I have been planning my Thanksgiving meal, still. Besides having the turkey, dressing, gravy, and mashed potatoes, here is a list of the rest of the goodies I am planning on making.
This is a cheese ball that I am going to attempt this year.
I just can’t resist!! I have to try!
I always make cranberry sauce, although I think mom and I are the only ones who eat it. But it’s easy and cheap!
I usually make a layered jello salad to go in my clear glass bowl, but this year I am going to make a banana pudding trifle.
Madison wants me to make plain salad. This means lettuce and cucumbers with some croutons. So I think I will try this salad and let her pick off what she doesn’t want.
Green bean casserole is always a Thanksgiving must!
We are also going to have plain corn.
I wonder who ordered that up?
