Thank you all for putting up with me on Saturday

[oldguystudent]

Saturday was a watershed moment for me at UNT. Through all the trials and tribulations, I've resisted calling UNT my own. As it turns out, I've spent almost as much time here as I did at my unnamed alma mater. Pending discussions with the faculty, I may spend another four years here.

On Saturday, we ran what was in my estimation, one of the best tailgates I've ever seen. Manning the grill for hours on end, I maintained fine until the third quarter. At that point, it hit me like a brick wall. I started hugging some of you. If that offended, I apologize. It was, however, somewhat of a prearranged situation with the kid staying with her mom, and my having a room in Denton.

When the game was over, my fraternity took me in for the night and we had a grand old time. It's time for me to acknowledge that UNT is as much my own as any other school I may have attended, and my drunken affections toward you were merely an expression of that.

I've turned the corner. UNT is my school. To those of you with whom I've...disagreed with over the past few years, my apologies. To those who saw me slurring in the latter portions of the game on Saturday, I apologize. But I take great memories from Saturday. I hope to make more. We'll be out tailgating again for the Indiana game. Nay, we'll be camping overnight on Friday and making a weekend out of it.

My thanks to all of you for making this experience so memorable.

I got the impression from this post that a lot of your tailgating was done from outside while the game was going on. If so, I look forward to you being part of the grander solution one day and not the problem. If I misinterpreted, my apologies.

Oh no. I was there for kickoff. You indeed misinterpret, but no apologies necessary.

The hugs were OK. The attempts at open mouthed kisses? Uh, more than a little uncomfortable ;-)

I was more than happy to contribute to your condition, if you know what I mean.

It was good to see you back at the game.

Get a room.

Glad you were there.
