A Word Before Saturday's Game

Smitty · September 12, 2008

Saturday's game against superpower LSU may get ugly. Probably will. All the numbers suggest it will.

Some of us get frustrated and negative, and some put their fingers in their ears and bury their heads in the sand. But I believe that all of us - every single person who has ever called themselves a Mean Green fan - have hope. We come together, we buy the tickets and hats and t-shirts, we volunteer our time, and we show up every week and cheer on the Mean Green because we love North Texas and because we have hope. Hope that this week will be the week, like the week we stood toe-to-toe with the Longhorns. Or the week we came off the deck to defeat a heavily-favored Middle Tennessee to start our run of four Sun Belt titles. Like the week we beat the Tennessee Volunteers.

And neither LSU nor a hurricane is going to extinguish that hope.

Give 'em hell, Mean Green!
