As I was walking through the terminal on the return flight, a guy asked if I was coming back from the game. He had never heard of North Texas before. I took the opportunity to inform him of our great university, our size, our program, and our football history. He said he would be routing for us this year.
While we didn't shock the world, but we shook the hell out of her for 35 minutes. I cannot tell you how proud I was as I walked to the car through a sea of wet bulldog red with my head held high. We lost, but gained respect, recognition, and almost a cool million... It was a good day considering a 24 pt loss.
I am now booking my trip to New Orleans. I hope to make each remaining game with the exception of Hattiesburg, and even that is subject to change. It has been a long time since I have been this excited about Mean Green football, and I hope it is contagious.
Go Mean Green!
