The Big Time

As of this morning, there are still some tickets left to the big game on Friday night. The article on the front page of Go Friday night says people were lining up at 3:30AM just to get tickets. Wow! I know people who aren't from Texas have a hard time understanding how people could get so fired up for a high school football game, but those people aren't from West Texas! Wikipedia says that Shotwell has a capacity of 15,000 and Friday night I expect the place to be full and then some with the extra bleachers brought in for students, etc. The point I'm making is that this is the big time for the young men involved! For the most part they will never play in front of a crowd like this again. Even young men who go on to play college ball sometimes don't play in venues such as the one on Friday night. So Cougars, I speak from experience, when you walk onto that field Friday before kick-off, your emotions will be flowing like they never have before. You will barely be able to contain yourself as your run through that banner while the Cougar fight song plays and the Cooper fans go wild! Yes, I have already taken off from work weeks ago because I wouldn't miss this one for the world. I'll have my face painted and my noisemaker and you can count on me to do my part. All I ask is that you do your part Cougars and that means going all out this week in practice working harder than you have all year. Then, explode on the Eagles when that football is kicked off and don't let up until the clock strikes zero at the end of the fourth quarter! Thank you in advance for making us proud! Go Cougars!

There is nothing like the Showdown at Shotwell. My adrenaline is pumping as they run out so I can't imagine the pride and excitement the Coogs are feeling as they run out. We need to be sure and show our support fans and I have no doubt they will make us proud. I am excited just reading this post by Situ! I have not been able to concentrate at work this week and can not wait for Friday! I can't say it enough--GO COUGARS!!! This will be an awesome victory! We love you Coogs.
