Panther Pride Peaks in Tuscaloosa!
Going to Tuscaloosa to watch GSU play the defending National Champions in front of over 100,000 fans, was a great experience for all involved! PANTHER FANS were treated to the spectacle of our New Favorite Team playing in the huge Bryant-Denny Stadium, home of The University of Alabama Crimson Tide's legendary football heritage.
While watching the BAMA fans gather before the game to line the walkway on which the Crimson Tide enter the stadium, I was "fast-forwarding" 20 years into our future, to where, in my mind, "Panther Pride"
will be legendary on its own merit! We will have our own signature
cheers and events with which to inspire awe in our opponents.

The enthusiasm of the BAMA fans was infectious.Those of us in Blue may have been vastly outnumbered by those wearing Crimson and Houndstooth, but we were not intimidated or discouraged!
Hearing our GSU Marching Band perform our new fight song caused Panther Fans' pride to soar to new heights!
"The sky is the limit" when it comes to writing the future of the GSU
Panther Football tradition. Maybe the Athletic Department should have an
online forum and public meetings, and become intentional about getting
input on ideas for new "Panther Traditions," and ways to build team spirit,
fan support, and sponsor "buy-ins" for all Panther sports. (For example:
Everyone making "claws" with their hands, while chanting "Pounce
Panthers" for first downs.)
It would have been nice to have seen a "miracle" win in Tuscaloosa, but, regardless of the score I am VERY PROUD OF OUR INAUGURAL PANTHER FOOTBALL TEAM! Our program is only going to get better! GREAT WORK, GUYS! See you in 2011!

We had some good kickoff coverage. We completed a 55 yard pass. We made a good goal line stand! Defense made some good stops. It was exciting
to watch our guys on the field! I know the team loved playing in Bryant-Denny Stadium!
