Dear MSU Community,

Go, 'Cats! What an incredible and historic football season! For the very first time in your university's history, the Bobcats have gone undefeated -- 12 wins, zero losses -- in a season that brought victories against tough teams on the road and decisive wins at home.

Last, but not least, was that fantastic and decisive 34-11 victory at the Brawl of the Wild. I think I can speak for every fan in Bobcat nation when I say that we are so proud of our team! And having this victory in Bobcat Stadium in front of the MSU faithful makes it all the sweeter.

I'd also like to acknowledge the members of the Spirit of the West marching band and the Spirit Squad for their skill and for the tremendous spirit they bring to each game. We are grateful for their support of the Bobcats and are proud of their growth and accomplishments.

Now, we look ahead to playoffs with enormous excitement. The players on this team and our coaches have shown us that, with their remarkable talent and dedication, they can do anything. Friends, I believe we're in for a long and exhilarating postseason!

To all of the extraordinary student-athletes on this year's team: Congratulations! Please know that we are behind you, and we'll be there wearing our Blue and Gold and cheering at the top of our lungs, all the way to Frisco!

Go, 'Cats, Go!
