“Look what I’ve got! It’s a Super bowl ring!”

I looked up from the checkout line at the Nampa Costco to see one of the checkers showing off a monstrous gold and diamond ring that to a football fan is unmistakable. I heard her ask the way more than six-foot receiver looking gentleman standing at the next counter what year and he said “1985.” That would make him a Chicago Bear and a member of a championship team that included Walter Peyton, Mike Singletary, Richard Dent, Jim McMahon and William “Refrigerator” Perry.

The night before, I watched the BSU Broncos win their second Fiesta Bowl Championship, making the Treasure Valley and Bronco Nation very proud and attaining one of their primary team goals, winning a BCS Bowl game.

Two teams, who worked and sweated and contended for a shared goal and achieved the prize. I tell you this to ask a few questions on my mind recently. What are my goals? What prize am I contending to attain? And what am I willing to do, to give up, to strive with a group of like-minded people to achieve? They feel like good questions to be asking early in January.  I’m just wondering what prize you’re striving for.

For KTSY, I’m General Manager Mike Agee.
