We did this in '98 before the Ags BTHONebraska, some of you may remember.
Instead of sitting on this friggin' bulletin board btching about everything, why don't you grab a pen and a card, and send a quick note to one of our fellow AGs on the team, letting them know that we are proud to have them as fellow Ags, and good luck beating the hell outta CU! Everyone hear knows that that game, much like Nebraska in '98, was THE game that could put this season on the right track, and erase any negative thoughts we've had the last couple of weeks.
Let's pick individual players and send them a letter of support and encouragement from the 12th Man, IMMEDIATELY.
I'm in meetings all day tomorrow, but if you guys think that this is a good idea, we need someone to post the address for the Athletic Department.
Someone else will need to post a list of our roster, so that people can post who they sent their letter to.
If this same person can BOLD those names where a letter has already been sent, so that EVERYONE on this team gets one, we'll be in good shape.

That is how we did it before. I had a number of exchanges with Cornelius Anthony who wrote me back to say he appreciated the encouragement.

It needs to go in the mail asap since ideally it would be before the trip to colorado.
| Stupe

Write it and send it, but do it quickly (mail it Monday or Tuesday if possible)
And...if you choose a name: Make sure you write the freakin' letter.
| ParisTx04
| posted 8:58p, 10/02/05
Maybe some of us should take more than one then?
| Muy
| posted 8:59p, 10/02/05
Get it in the mail ASAP, Monday. They need to get it before they leave, which I'm assuming is Thursday, correct?
As many Ags as we have posting on this board daily, we should be able to knock this out by end of day Monday.
Step up and let us know who you sent yours to.
| McInnis 03
| posted 8:59p, 10/02/05
Just send it as quick as you can, tomorrow morning or the next day preferably so it gets to the guys before they leave for CU.
I am gonna let the guys know how much the name on the front of the jersey means to me and thank them for busting their tails for it!

Muy, great idea! I'm been so full of piss and vinegar the last two days I couldn't function. This letter idea has me fired up in a very positive way.

Be sure to catch the guys that are injured too.

It's amazing how little things can improve your attitude, huh?
Get after it Ags!
Hell, maybe your guy steps up in the CU game, and you can tell your wife "Hey, that's the guy I wrote a letter to!". I'm sure in some small way you played a part in helping them prepare, as I believe that hand-written notes are drastically underrated.

Just a thought guys...I'd like to send Torbush a letter also
I would think someone might want to send the Offensive coordinator a letter as well to let them know we're still behind them and wish them luck as well
So, i'll take Gorrer and Torbush
| ParisTx04

Yes Muy hand written is better than typed, even if barely legible.

On second thought I'll take Chris Harrington!
