Beck wins the Cingular All-America Player of the Week award


Thats right our very own John Beck is the Cingular all-american this week. It has been all over the place. I would have voted but it seemed like the only way to vote was to text message the vote, and seeing as though I do not have that I did not participate. The link is below but for those you do not want to read it. Beck got 39% of the votes, and guess who was behind him with 37% of the votes. Yep that is right, Mr Brady Quinn from Notre Dame. It is awesome, he can be one of four finalist chosen to be the National Cingular all-american of the year.

The main reason why I want to share the news is for this funny story. Beck has the life if he goes hunting during the week. But he shot his first Buck. "Senior quarterback John Beck bagged the first buck of his life Tuesday morning just outside of Scipio and made it back in time for team meetings and practice. He did pull his pickup truck to the Student Athlete Center and show teammates his kill"But the funniest part about it is what Becks dad tells him, it is so typical of Dads. Stand aside son this is too dangerous for you. I thought it was funny, read below;
Wendell Beck prohibited his son from cleaning the deer, fearing he'd cut his hand. "About 10 minutes into cleaning the deer, my dad cut his hand," Beck said.

  1. I realize not too many people will/would be interested in this I was really holding back, but once he became the player of the week I had to post, so sorry for those that thing it is a waste of space, b/c it is not.

  2. Hey Robb, the blog is to post what is important to YOU! If there are some "losers" in our family that do not think what is important to one member of the fam. is important to them too then they are just missing out. But I think we do not have any "losers" in the fam. In fact I think we do not even have any "break evens" in the fam. And it is certain that Mom and I love it all in any case.

    There is one exception, by the way of something Mom and I have generally agreed upon that we do not love and hope the Cornwall Comings and Goings blog is above. Now is as good a time as any to mention it. We hope we do not offend anybody. But the one thing that we would be quite happy with is that we do not post pictures, nor discuss events relating to young children smearing food or other stinky matter all over themselves, clothes, high chairs, etc.. etc... This is one thing that we think is best (and only) appreciated in person.

    Football and Jason Beck are definately NOT in the above category.

    p.s. You CAN text message. You just need to figure out how. It costs 10 cents per message, but something as important as voting for our man Beck is so worth it!

  3. How would the rest of the nation know about Beck - or do you think the BYU community is just texting away???
