This Start Is Huge
The 3-2 start, with the losses to what are now probably both Top 10 teams, is big in so many ways, IMO. Whether it's getting the attention of the big 5 conferences for the next wave of realignment, the effect on recruiting, the exitement level at the Liberty Bowl or simply the $ that will be generated by the butts in the seats next week, the impact on the program that this start could have, just can't be underestimated.
I wonder if we could possibly have as large a crowd as we did against MTSU, given that they probably had several thousand fans there & I suspect that UH won't bring but a handfull.
Anyway, it sure is exciting. My season ticket partner, my brother, & I have always said "it's tough being a Tiger fan;" we were members of the "group of 800" or whatever we called the fans remaining at that game that was delayed by weather in Fuente's first year, so hopefully we can forget about those days now.

Well it would've been losses to two top 10 teams except ucla lost last night. Otherwise, I agree.
