BSU # 5 In the Nation

BSU has done it #5 in the nation.

Coach Pete I think sums up what this means best in USA Today:
Boise State coach Chris Petersen appreciates the coaches lifting the 4-0 Broncos to No. 5 in this week's USA TODAY poll but politely declines to put much stock in the highest ranking in school history. Talking Sunday after returning home from Saturday's 49-14 win at Bowling Green, Petersen said:

"It doesn't matter what people are saying about us, good or bad, because we know we have a lot of work left to do to become a better team. It's going to be easy for us to stay focused because we are only one month into a very long season.

The Broncos' resume became a bit brighter after Oregon dismantled then-No. 6 California on Saturday. Boise State beat the Ducks 19-8 to open the season, its lone game this year against a school from one of the six major conferences. Petersen wasn't surprised by Oregon's win.

"We know their offensive firepower," Petersen said. "They're a team that can score points. But that game is a perfect example of why we don't get too excited. Cal came in riding high but one loss and that's gone."

Boise State was ranked No. 2 this week in Jeff Sagarin's BCS ratings. But the Broncos' remaining schedule is without another signature opponent: Tulsa, Hawaii and Louisiana Tech look like the stiffest challenges and all three are road games.

"No matter what people on the outside see, we know what's coming our way and that is a lot of tough, tough games on the road," Petersen said. "So far our guys have been real good about staying focused on what's at hand and not paying any attention to the outside noise."

Boise plays UC Davis this weekend and has an off-week before traveling to Tulsa on Oct. 14.

"We have a lot more travel, a lot more twists and turns, a lot more challenges," Petersen said. "Where you are in the polls now is meaningless and I think our guys have stayed fairly grounded on that. There is a lot of football left for this team."

As a BSU Alumni and fan I hope BSU wins the WAC and plays in one of the big BCS Bowl games but we still have a bunch of games to play and I want BSU to keep playing the way they have and keep proving to everybody that they deserve to be in the big dance and I want them to win, win, win.

GO BIG BLUE!!!

#14 BSU beat #16 Oregon@ Bronco Stadium

I know some of you in the family aren't going to be happy with this blog but oh well.I have to post a blog that shares my enthusiasm for my Alum Mater Boise State University and it is after all the beginning of College Football one of my favorite times of the year.

I did not stay up for the game but I read and watched all the analysis, highlights and the ruckus afterward.

This game was sweeter then last years win against Oregon because the Broncos beat Oregon at home. The Broncos are 65-2 at home since 1996. Beware of playing in Bronco stadium it can be hazardous to your win-lose record.

When everybody says this was the biggest game in BSU history, believe it. Boise is a great town that has always supported their local college and this game and the win last night are huge for a city that takes pride in its pioneer roots and pleasure in its winning sport teams.

Much of the state was rooting for BSU and the bragging rights that come with beating what many pundits say will be the team to finish 2nd in the PAC-10.

I have family that cheers for Oregon State and I think some that even cheer for Oregon.

My teams are BSU and BYU and anyone playing Oregon, Oregon State, and Georgia.

I remember the Bronco's win in 1980 National Championship against Eastern Kentucky and the buzz and excitement that happened in Boise that year. Take that excitement level times 100 and you will begin to have an idea of what BSU Football means to Boise, the Treasure Valley, the state and all those who claim BSU as Alumni it's huge to all of us who at some point in our lives were part of Big Blue.

I just want to say GO BIG BLUE, GO BLUE THUNDER, GO BRONCOS!!!!

I love the smurf turf!

Good morning,

The site I created several weeks ago for the Robison line of sports wear had to be moved and this is the web address it was moved to.

The money that is earned I wanted to put aside in an account for paying for maintaining this website and to help with family reunions and as a cooperative account for us to use as family. I don't think it will every make a lot of money unless there is a sudden run on the Robison Polo Shirts but he you never know, wink.

The Robison coat of arms is available in Embrodiery on a number of different items and it will soon be available on t shirts and other items that don't require embroidery.

We make 7% off of every item sold in the store.

This stores is more about creating some fun and memories for our family and being able to display for others how we feel about being Robisons.

We are all fine here getting ready to go back to school on August 10. Keegan is planning to start summer Semster at BYU Idaho next year and she also is licensed to drive, there goes our insurance rates. Alex has her permit and begs to drive the cars any chance she gets. Keegan and Aubree are serving as the Presidents of the Laurel and Mia Maid classes although Keegan will start attending Relief Society in the fall.

Keegan has a boy friend and his name is Nick and he is a great young man and is already a member of the church he just hasn't been baptized yet. His parent at the moment will not let him get baptized until he turns 18 and he is chopping at the bit for that to happen. He is a professional singer who does the same type of music as Josh Groban and he is as good as Josh. He has several CDs and has traveled alot. He fired his manager 6 months ago and stopped his music career and went to work at Chic Fila whic is where he met Keegan.

Kevin and I went to Washington D. C. a few week back for a track meet I took a couple of my athletes to. We had so much fun and also got a chance to go up and visit the temple and take my athletes with us. They were impressed by the temple and one of my athletes seem to take a particular interest in the temple when I told him that we believe families can be sealed together forever. He spend several minutes browsing throught the kiosk which shows the temples all over the world.

I am still in school and getting ready to take my Biology certification test so I can become a certified teacher. Our Bishop ask me, Sean I know how you personally feel about public education so I am a little surprised you are taking this step. I told the bishop I was surprised to but I need to be able to support my family. It should be a good experience and I hope to be able to do a lot of good with individual students in a system that as far as I am concerned is broken and has been so for a long time. I should do my student teaching starting in January and I hope to be in a classroom a year from this August.

Jo is still doing daycare and home school and those are both going well. She has finally found a history curriculum that she can get excited about.

Kevin is doing well and still growing he is already hitting me at about the ear now so he is going to be taller than me too.

Charity ran track with me this summer and will be running on my team for indoor. I will have my own team when indoor starts and its called the Velocity Sunbird Athletics.

Aubree is still sweet little Aubree and enjoys being close to Jo.

I also have started my own personal blog. I have had a professional blog with my real estate business and decided it was time to start doing a personal family blog. I am a little late to the blogging but that's okay I don't like being to trendy.

Everyone take care and have a great day.

Happy 4th of July 2009

I wanted to take this opportunity to pause and reflect as our nation celebrates its 233rd Birthday.

I hope everyone who lives in this country understands and realizes how lucky we all are to live in the freeest land on the face of this little blue planet.

Never has a country existed on the earth which has accomplished as much as we have in a relative short time.

We came for the original 13 colonies of approximately 7 to 10 million citzens to a nation in 2009 of over 300 million.

Our founding fathers were some of the greatest minds of any age who had the courage, understanding of history and desire to build a new nation free and different from anything that had every been tried before and did everything they could to get the nation off on the right path and on a course to sustainability. On this day we should take the opportunity to remember and thank our Father in Heaven for blessing these men with the great gift of foresight and courage to build an American Nation.

We have helped citzens of many nations of this world in their times of need. It was the US with our allies that rebuilt western Europe and Japan after WWII. Germany, Japan and Italy where our enemies and we came to their aid and helped them rebuild. Japan become one of our major trading partners and has become an economice super power it is own right.

The improvements in the standard of living that much of the world enjoys has been in many respects because of the ingenuity of many citzens of the United States of America, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, George Washington Carver, Henry Ford, and Benjamin Franklin just to name a few.

We went from the concept presented by Pres. Kennedy in 1960 to the moon in 1969. We have expanded our understanding of the universe that we are a part of with the Hubble and Spizter space telescopes.

Ronald Reagan brought us the concepts of peace through strength and economic prosperity which started this nation on a 20 plus year run of prosperity which has neverbeen seen before.

I have listed just a few of the many wonders and blessings that our nation has brought to the world. We should always leave the world better than we found it and for 233 years we have as a people have tried to do just that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA and everyone have a GREAT 4th of JULY.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Welcome to the Robison Family Chronicle

I created this blog so that friends and family can be kept up to date on what Sean and Jolinn Robison family is up to.
To get everyone up to speed we currently live in Loganville, GA a city about 30 miles east of Atlanta.
We have lived in the Atlanta Metro area for almost 9 years, it will be 9 in August.
When we moved here we had our five kids, Kevin celebrated his 1st birthday on the move out to Atlanta.
I got a promotion with Hewlett Packard which generated our move to Atlanta. The year after we got here I was laid off. 2 weeks later 911 happened and the bottom fell out of jobs in IT. I worked for Air Tran for a while and then went to work at Earthlink in tech support.

My friend Maurice and I started an IT business which had limited success. I started driving school bus for Gwinnett County Public Schools got my real estate license and began selling real estate, homesbuysean.com and my real estate blog Sean K. Robison Sr.

Almost the entire time we have lived here Jo has been doing day care and thank goodness for her willingness to do that it has been a lifesaver for us.

Last year the real estate market dropped off the radar and I found myself in desperate need of an income. I started substitute teaching and went back to school to get my masters in biology education.
I will Graduate next summer from the University of Phoenix with my Masters.

We lost my grandpa in April, he was 89 and lived a good life. I was unable to attend the funeral. Jo and I decided with the way the economy is and our parents getting older and Keegan headed to BYU Idaho in January we need to head back west to whats familiar and be closer to family.
Our target date is late summer of 2011 to move to Phoenix Arizona.

Other things that I have been doing to stay busy here, I currently coach a track team, Rate of Motion Elite and our blog Sean K. Robison Sr. is currently on my real estate website but I will be moving that blog here to Blogger. The team does well and has some great athletes and I have very much enjoyed working with these young people. Charity has also started running with the team and wants to do the hurdles.

Alex, Aubree, Keegan and Kevin are also doing well and are excited about the prospect of moving to Phoenix.

Jo continues to be the rock of our family and continues to help us move into eternity as a forever family. Thats all for now.
