I graduated a few years ago just one semester after writing off this school's football team for what I thought would be forever. However, at the beginning of last season, I masochistically decided to give them one more shot. It started by just attending the Idaho game with a few other recent alums. I went in not expecting much, but the team played solidly and I was intrigued to check out another. The game that really did it for me was Ball State. It was hotter than hot and most of my group had left or were planning to leave going into the 3rd quarter. I am so glad I stayed. After seeing the team that I had essentially written off as an embarrassment ne'er to be mentioned come back and play completely balls-out, I was hooked. I finally got an account on GMG and I have since been more plugged into this team than I EVER thought I would. It happened so quickly and seamlessly that I hardly noticed I was becoming a total fanatic. I didn't really see how much I had gotten into it until my boss, a former employee of the AD in the Dodge years, told me "the Mean Green need more fans like you". This past football season saw me go from purposefully unaware to completely sold out.
That being said, I think my vision has changed immensely from last year to this year and even from August to now. I'm very confident that this is just the beginning for this program and this school. Very proud to be an alum.
