To every one of the devoted fans who pressed the arena for the Kansas game, I can’t communicate enough the way that thankful we are for the energy, the excitement, and the resolute help you carried with you. That environment was downright electric! It was one of those extraordinary evenings when the group’s energy energized each play, each second on the field, and I need to pause for a minute to recognize and thank every one of you for establishing such a remarkable climate.
Strolling through that passage on Friday night was an encounter that I will recall until the end of time. The thunder of the group, the ocean of fans decked out in group tones, and the staggering energy that appeared to vibrate through the arena were sensational. As I ventured onto the field interestingly, I was overpowered by the reaction all of you gave, and it filled me with an unbelievable deep satisfaction and appreciation. It’s difficult to articulate how much that second intended to me specifically, realizing that we had such countless enthusiastic allies there to back us up. That degree of energy and responsibility from fans has an effect in the whole group and pushes us to do our absolute best.
From the pregame buzz to the last play of the game, you could feel the solidarity and energy that beat through the stands. At the point when our group required a lift, when the game hit testing minutes, you were not too far off, cheering stronger, pushing us forward, clarifying that you had us covered. Each cheer, each serenade, and each snapshot of excitement had an effect, reminding us why we play and who we play for.
Our players feed off that energy. It’s generally expected said that fans are the twelfth player on the field, and that couldn’t be more genuine. Your help adds one more layer of force to each game, and there’s something staggeringly strong about having large number of individuals behind you, all needing exactly the same thing – triumph. To realize that we have a local area that stands with us, win or lose, provides us a feeling of motivation and inspiration that goes past whatever we might do alone. For the new colleagues, Friday was their most memorable genuine taste of playing before a group like our own, and they felt the very fervor and energy that I did whenever I first strolled onto that field.
The Kansas game wasn’t simply one more evening. It was a demonstration of the soul and heart of our fans, and it filled in as a sign of what makes this group, this school, and this local area so extraordinary. We are unbelievably lucky to have a fanbase that is however enthusiastic and committed as you may be. As we push ahead this season, each game will be an amazing chance to do right by you, and we are more spurred than any other time in recent memory to try sincerely and convey exhibitions that genuinely deserve your help.
In sports, as throughout everyday life, the easily overlooked details matter – a snapshot of association, a common encounter, a group loaded with individuals meeting up to help a shared objective. That is what we have here. Furthermore, these common minutes make recollections we’ll all think back on with unparalleled delight.
Yet again for benefit of the whole group, thank you for being there, for cheering, for appearing in such a strong way. Your commitment moves us consistently, and we’re appreciative to have you close by. We should push this energy along and make each game a memorable night!
Together, we are relentless.
