Afghanistan is calling for 3rd Battalion 5th Marines and we'll be there for 7 months starting 31 Aug....my blood became orange and purple when i went to my first game in '77 (Tigers/ND in DV) with my father and it has never faltered. To those of you who will see the Tigers this year, make DV a miserable place for the opponent like it should be. Make that place an explosion for them to try to play in and take an avalance of O and P to their houses and take the place over when you go to away games. Put petty crap aside and realize that the 60 min. on Saturdays when the Tigers strap it up is our time to show them what Tiger pride is and shove it down the nation's throats as it should be. Dabo has passion so show everyone that we do too and bring Tiger football back to where it should be....physical, smashmouth football with speed all over the field and insane fans that dont' give a #### if you like our colors, our uniforms, our chants, our Paw, our Hill, our Rock or our Fight Song....i personally don't care what anyone thinks about us, all i care about is the Tigers putting facemasks in chests and DV erupting like it used to. I'll always dislike any and every team that we play and all i care about is the Tigers playing hard and clean and dominating the other team. I'll be thinking about all of you and the Tigers while i'm humping the boonies with my fellow Marine Corps grunts over there and it'll make me smile knowing you all are raising hell for the Tigers....as it should be.
