My feeling after the game was strange. I'll be honest, I shed a few tears of joy, but it didn't have that mountain top feeling. The way it felt was more like, "this is where we're supposed to be, and this is the new normal". Before this game I had a very strong feeling we were going to win, we had momentum in a way that we haven't in a long time. Let's run it back indeed.

I'd also like to congratulate you sir, on a fine season of work. You are the only independent beat writer who consistently shows up for this team. You know these guys well, but you hold their feet to the fire when it's deserved. I think your question to Coach in the presser about taking players to places they've never been before is the kind of question that a man of his stature deserves, and his response has to be one of my favorite press conference quotes I've ever heard. Y11's success is proof that there's interest in this program, that there are expectations, and proof that there are enough of us who care that writing about EMU football is a sustainable enterprise.
