Sometimes we get so caught up in the action and the outcome that we forget to say what’s most important: "Thank you."
What an awesome night. No Limit Larry would say "crunk!" and it was.
Butler goes first with their great win. Remarkable job on defense with the early interceptions. Standing on the sidelines it was obvious the Bulldogs were ready for those passes in the flat and they made it work. Also, I thought a key part of the game came when Butler trailed 7-0. Instead of firing back with passes, the Bulldogs mixed in the running game. The effects wore on Indy and Butler was able to bounce back from the early turnover to build the big lead.
"It's never over at the Big I…" Anthony Carrothers made mistakes in the first half with all the interceptions, but he found a way to bounce back. I said on the Frenzy that's not easy for NFL players to do, but that's what they do at Independence. Tough minded, big time football. Carrothers made one great throw after another in the 2nd half, and the man throws a beautiful deep ball. It's one thing to call the hi lites. It's another to see it in person.
Tony Yorio... take a bow, young man. Coach Newsome called you his "unsung hero" on Tuesday at practice. Unsung no more with 2 big touchdowns in a great game.
Great job by the Indy cheerleaders live at 5:45. Up and 4am for live work on Power 98 and rocking til late. Amazing what young people can do.
Fans from both sides were great to us at the game. Thank you again and we'll see you again soon.
The set up at Indy was as professional as it gets, from the parking folks to everyone working the game. Congratulations on a great show. Thanks for all of your work, so we could focus on the young people doing their thing.
