When you read the latest Friday with Fran you will find another piece of yet-to-be-completed puzzle was added when the team was given Maroon bands with the words "Texas A&M" on them. They were instructed to only put this on when they would give their all to the team. . .to live this year, this season, with One Heartbeat. . .
We have seen in the first game of the season what looked to be little bit of loss in composure and a lot of inexperience. All this said, there was effort. . . maybe not yet the fire of passion where all is left on the field but there is a small flame there. . .we need that fire, that flame that Bonfire immortalized, to be there . .
The challenge to issue to all who call A&M their home and heart, is to answer this adversity with the stuff that makes our school so great- With One Heart- as One Family.
This is a challenge to each person to make this commitment and to show the team this by wearing a maroon "band" of ribbon and/or actual band if you can procure one. . .and to find the resolve that while this is tough- we will FIGHT through all of this and that we are one with our team. . that we will back our team. . those are OUR boys out there and THIS IS TEXAS A&M.
Visualize our boys looking up in to the stands and knowing the 12th Man is wearing those Maroon bands and is in One Heartbeat with them on the field. . .I can not think of anything more that would make me want to give it all I had on that field of play. . .
We Will Not Back Down. We Will Not Settle. We Will Fight With Everything We Have. We Will Play Like Warrior Poets and Champions.
Let the 12th Man of old and new lead this Call. . .and let that Fire be reignited again . . .
