I have a knack for remembering random dates. Today marks the fourth anniversary of the first Old Dominion University football game. I still shake my head sometimes at how far the program has come in such a short time.

And a great birthday present it was!

EDIT: Nevermind. Above post was corrected

And for those of us who attended, we can forevermore say "I was there!"

lol MM10 I was using my fingers, all like "whaaaaaa"

"I was there!"

That year our 2nd game was against VA Union I believe. What a difference four years make. We have accelerated the program in lightning speed.

Four more years we may be in the Championship game. Aim High!

Funny thing, tonight at the coach's show the question was, "Everyone knows we played Chowan in the very first game in 2009, who did we play the second game? The winner got 2 free tickets to the home opener.

Nice thread. Thanks for reminding us.

However we can't forget June 14, 2005 when the Board of Visitors voted to reinstate football. Many ODU fans have been waiting years for that news to come.
