That this game mattered.

It wasn’t UTEP in the middle of the year and pundits saying “ yeah they’re 6-0 but who have they beat?

Then we would inevitably fire back well if we could just get a real team to come play us here but they’re too scared!

For so long we pined for national attention. We longed for games that mattered. Now every game matters. Nearly every win is a good one.

We are nationally relevant. We finally made it to the table. And it feels oh so nice.
