It's been an exciting and encouraging day. The renewed level of interest and optimism is something I haven't experienced with this program in a decade.. since I was a student. I honestly don't think I could be happier for this program, our University, and all of us. While there is no guarantee of success, this just feels different. It feels like the beginning of something special. Today has been special.
It was great to donate to something I believe in again. It's invigorating to have a collective sense that we are heading in the right direction. With all the time that we choose to dedicate to this, today feels like we got something back. The groundswell of support has shown what this program can be again.
It's been 5 years since I've been to a game, and I can't wait to fly in next season to see this team on the court, and meet all of you for beers at Brion's, or a ByGeorge tailgate. I'll say it again, It's a Great Day to be a Patriot.
