Football coach thanks fans for support

November 10, 2010 by Special Contributor

Students,

You have been awesome at each of our home games this season.  You have given us a great home-field advantage during the 2010 season, and for that the entire ACU football team thanks you.

Your enthusiasm, passion, and volume played a key role in going undefeated at home thus far this season.  Your energy and passion have made Shotwell Stadium one of the toughest places for opponents to play in NCAA Division II football.

I invite you to come out again this Saturday and have fun with YOUR football team for our last regular-season home game.  We’ll kick things off against Southwestern Oklahoma State at noon.  We need your help to finish off a Lone Star Conference championship season and would love to see a huge student crowd there to help us celebrate.

We also want you to get yourselves ready to come out to Shotwell in late November and into December as we make a run at a national championship.  We need your help to get past what promises to be some tough opponents in the playoffs.

We’ll see you at Shotwell Stadium.

Chris Thomsen
ACU Football Coach
