Printthat I will be missing all but two games this year. I will be here, and by here I mean the USA, for the FAU and UTEP games, but two days after the UTEP game I will be on a plane and headed to an all expense paid trip to a vacation hotspot I like to call Kirkuk, Iraq. My wife has promised to DVR all the games for me, but I will not be able to hold off catching scores for almost 5 months so, hopefully I can keep up with you guys as best I can.
I've also spent the past two weeks going through some awesome training for this deployment so coming back today and reading some of these posts has been awesome.
Anyway, I look forward to reading BON as much as I can and hopefully keeping up with how the games actually went since we have such a great fanbase here at BON.
HOOK EM!
