The Attraction Of A Winner - The Texas Rangers

[Green Jackal]

After watching the Rangers beat the Yankees tonight, I am watching all of the fans go nuts. There are a lot of Ranger's fans who have been waiting a long time for this. And there are probably twice as many new fans jumping on the bandwagon. With 100k UNT alums in DFW, could you imagine what it would be like once UNT tastes similar success in football? If UNT could even have anything close to the recent success of TCU, this program would really take off.

Honestly, I have been shedding tears...after Elvis caught the out in Tampa and now after Feliz K's the devil.

I pull for the underdog...it is in my blood.

I tell you that I have caught at least a piece of every game this year. And for the last 39 years, through internet, radio, tv and newspaper, I have followed this team through bad times and bad, good times occasionally...Mark Holtz was my hero as much as the players, then Eric. My son took his first pitching lesson from Wettlend (sp?) and I have played poker with Pavlik. O

It is the one professional sport I can afford to take my entire family.

And now, my team is in the World Series.

If this loser can do it, then why not the Mean Green?

Josh's interview was so genuine. I almost shed a tear for him.

Well, I've thought about that lately. I do have one thing to say about that: I'm 63 now, so probably won't make it another 39 years to see UNT win in a bowl game.

Good post Scott.

I miss Mark Holtz' voice an can't help but think he is smiling tonight. When Feliz had two strikes on the Devil I turned off the TV and turned up the radio to hear Nadel's last call.

Greatness!
