Ogden's Pep Rally

I am a big college football fan, particularly local football teams. This year, I have been particularly interested by the unique position facing all four Northern Utah universities. This year, each school is starting the year fresh with a new coach. The most fascinating aspect of this scenario has been to observe the way that all four schools have promoted their football program. The hype and talk of the new seasons is thrilling for any fan of these schools. Each season begins with anticipation and the prospect that this could be "the year".
I felt a similar surge of excitement as I opened the brochure about "The HUB" yesterday. The anticipation of what could be had me excited for Ogden's future. Of course, there are those out there who are skeptical of what is envisioned. Ironically, I have a friend whose father takes a similar approach to our favorite football team. The moment the team hits their first snag of a game, he throws his hands up in the air and proclaims something to the effect of, "Well, there goes the year," or "Doesn't that coach have a clue?" Yet this man still is a die hard fan.
Such is the scenario in Ogden. There are those who are certain that this is not going to be the time for Ogden to shine, despite their desires to see O-Town do well. To them, I say, "Be patient. This is just the beginning."
We can agree, after all- Ogden's due for a winning season!
