That was great.

I guess I'm an old wuss, but there were times during it, that I started welling up.

Anyway, way to go Rich....and thanks CBS News.

It made my very proud of Mr. Young. And as a UNT alum it made me feel so good about the positive exposure for the University!

It just aired here in the Mountain Time Zone...Wow...I just had chills.

The shot of him in the Humvee with the gun in his hand really made me realize what this guy has seen...very proud of him. Go beat Memphis, Rich!

I also loved how the ran the credits with the fight song all the way to the fade out. Great stuff!

Just aired out West Pacific Time Zone and that was worth the rush home. I am so damn proud to be Mean Green! The story was powerful and the publicity priceless. Young's story truly puts so much in perspective.

toss the tigers!

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---Young's comments reminded me of a similiar comment about Tom Landry (who was a WWII pilot who flew into the Ruhr Valley, the industrial heart of Germany) . Landry was known for staying calm during games and someone asked him how he did it and he responded something to the fact: "After piloting planes through the Ruhr Valley, football games were not all that stressful".

---It brings on a new sense of importance of sports....Everyone loves to win but after it is over...everyone walks away...

My wife always says that nothing seems to worry me. I think you'll find that for those of us who have experienced military duty during wartime, things just don't seem to worry us. Viet Nam did that to a lot of veterans, the same for Desert Storm and Iraq vets. Basketball is just a game. Nothing more.

Well stated Deep.

Agree with all said, and would like to add that they showed a clip going into every commercial break but one I believe. I don't think I'll ever get to meet Rich in person, being in Houston, but someone shake that man's hand and say thank you for me.
