Howdy Mustangs, and Mustang fans...

Time for the Mustangs to travel to Brownwood to take on the Brownwood Lions in the Gordon Wood Classic.

I want to address the fans for today's blog entry.
I'm fairly certain it's been awhile sine any of us adults have put on a pair of shoulder pads and run around in 100 degree heat. The 2007 edition of the Mustangs had two-a-days a few weeks back. But they didn't mind working hard in the heat because it's a game that they love it or they wouldn't be doing it.

As a matter of fact, when is the last time we adults and fans lifted weights to get ready for this season? Yeah, it's been a long time for me too. But the 2007 Mustangs did that for the last 8 months getting ready for this season. But they didn't mind woking hard on those weights because it's a game and they love it or they wouldn't be doing it.

And how many of us have taken a group of 11 young men and tried to orchestrate their every move into a designed pass play? Yeah, I've been pretty busy at the office. But the Sweetwater coaches have been doing that for a couple of weeks now getting ready for this season. But they don't mind doing it because it's a game and they love coaching or they wouldn't be doing it.

Sooooo, that brings me to us fans. What are our jobs? What do we contribute to the Mustangs? It is my belief that we are to support our team, coaches, and the entire town. Win, lose, or draw.
Even though football is a highly competitive sport, the bottom line at the end of the day is it's a game. Games are meant to be fun! What signal do we send to our kids if they do all the work and hear nothing but grumpy people about? What kind of a payoff is that for all of their hard work?

I hope we Mustang fans are going to have fun tonight in Brownwwod. I think we are pretty fortunate to play a team like Brownwood in the Brownwood classic. All of the great history there with the tradition and all. What a sight it will be to see the Mustangs take the field. The Mustangs have put in their work, the coaches have done their work..and all we Mustangs need to do is go enjoy the game! Remember, it IS a game!!

Go Mustangs!
Beat Brownwood!
