school assignment

This is a school assignment.

In class we have been talking about chronos and kairos. These are two different kinds of time. Chronos is chronological time. Kairos is emotional time.

For class I am writing a paper on good sportsmanship at BYU. Over the last few decades, ever since the last national championship, BYU has faded from the national spot light. But in the last 4 years or so, since Bronco Mendenhall became the head coach, there has been an incease of attention from the nation. The football team has had 3 consecutive seasons with ten or more wins. BYU football has renewed its traditions of being a annual competitor. This recognition brings a lot of attention to the university. Now is the perfect time to address sportsmanship at athletic events. This also represents the chronological timeline behind my reasoning.

After last season the Oklahoma sooners invited BYU to play them in the first game of the 2009 stadium. Most of the nation thought that the #3 Sooners would destroy BYU. On a fateful day in September BYU shocked the nation. Suddenly BYU is once again in the national spot light. There has been some discussion about the possibility of BYU playing in the national championship game if they go undefeated. Over the last few years, BYU football has been building up to this point. As this season moves foreward with the nations eyes on our University, we need to remember to show them the power, grace, and positive qualities taught here at BYU. We need to show them that we can be the best fans, coaches, and players in the nation. But we need to do it in a sportsmanlike manner. This is the kairos of my argument.
