What it means to be a Fan?


We are getting a first-hand lesson in that this season with UConn. What does it mean to be a fan? Is it complaining and bashing the players and coaches when the season isn't going well? Is it hanging our heads low, tossing our UConn gear aside, not proudly hanging our Husky flag? No, it's supporting the team and coaches through thick and thin. Every team has its peaks and valleys and that's what makes supporting a team exciting. I can only say this on my blog but sometimes its Ok to learn how to be a good loser too. It helps you to work harder, dig deeper, and be humble.

After listening to Coach Edsall's press conference yesterday for the WV game this Friday I am even more convinced that Chad is in the right place, and with the right coach. He mentioned that his first goal is to make the young men on the team the best people and players that he can, it's not ALL about football. He truly leads the team like that. When it's all said and done, those life skills will stick with Chad alot longer than him kicking a football on the field.

I am super proud of our Husky and the great friends Chad has made and character that Chad is developing. So good, bad or ugly, I am the biggest Husky fan there is!
