It’s a great day to be a Crusader!
We are so proud of our football team – players, coaches, staff, and our amazing Crusader football fans – for their UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONSHIP season! It’s been a fun ride, and we hope you’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
We asked you to send us your posts from the Stagg Bowl, and you did not disappoint! Here are some of our favorites:

In the fall of 1998, I stood on the sidelines and covered @crufootball’s inaugural game at Trinity for the @UMHB student newspaper. Tonight I stood on the sidelines and covered their second national title with my colleagues at @1660espn. Pretty neat.
