Thank you so much for those words. For the last five months, we have been sweating, brusing and bleeding every single day at practice not knowing if our distinguished alumni were aware of our efforts or not.
Now we know...are we are proud.
We will represent our school with every ounce of heart and soul in our bodies, and leave everything we have on the field, because that field is all we have. We hope our alumni will come along with us as we march into history.
Just a couple of corrections...our first game is Feb 24th at 7PM at Maverick Stadium, and we are still a little short of our $20,000 goal, but we are working hard to meet it.
Thank you again for the great message, and we will see you at Maverick Stadium.

: UTA Football
:
:
: So, after many efforts, it is time now, to
: revive football at UTA. What began two years
: ago with a determined student body president
: and an aggressive alumni base, and could not
: be accomplished using traditional, orthodox
: means to restore what rightfully belongs on
: this campus has left behind a spirit - an
: un-dying spirit.
:
: For all the efforts in the past that have
: gone into bringing football to the campus of
: UT Arlington, where it once reigned supreme,
: it seems this time we were not stopped on
: "forward progress" or held for a
: loss on downs. A pioneering group of
: students from every background, who
: determined at once to play football at an
: all but abandoned Maverick Stadium, used
: their own entrepreneuerial spirit to reclaim
: their rights to wear the Maverick jersey.
:
: The dedicated young men enlisted a local
: marketing firm, Acopious LLC, to take the
: reigns and the return was a touchdown.
: Acopious LLC raised more than $20,000.00 for
: this fledgling outfit, which has since grown
: out of its tattered uniform and into a
: living, breathing and highly exalted
: orchestration of talent and resources.
:
: The UTA Football club will play their
: inaugural season this year at Maverick
: Stadium, which is likely to be one of the
: best fields in the league. Their season will
: include six games at home and five on the
: road, and if you think they are doing this
: for the glory that usually comes with
: football, think again. The Mavericks want
: nothing less than for UTA to field an NCAA
: sanctioned team, notwithstanding whatever
: shortcomings they may have.
:
: Taking a page from history, the men, and
: there are more than 50, marched across
: campus to let their cause play out on
: campus. Two years ago, students and alumni
: marched together for the same cause. It
: seems that Road March is quite the tradition
: on this campus, of course, referring to the
: ROTC cadets who actually marched from the
: campus at the University of Texas at
: Arlington to Fort Hood, an Army Installation
: Base, more than 40 years ago. The march took
: them 160 miles to Killeen, Texas, the home
: of Fort Hood. While their own heroic efforts
: continue to make exciting conversation for
: students, alumni and journalists even today,
: lest no one forget, the leaders they were
: and are now have followers.
:
: In 2004, more than 3,000 students turned out
: to vote overwhlemingly in favor of a
: proposition to restore football at UT
: Arlington. The referendum was solely
: defeated by President Spaniolo after great
: pressure from the city of Arlington who
: chose to buy-in deep into the Jerry Jones $1
: Billion stadium for the Dallas Cowboys now
: defunct dream team led by then coach, Bill
: Parcells. Despite their efforts then, the
: passion has not failed.
:
: In fact, what bubbled under the surface for
: more than two year has now come to fruition.
: UTA will take the home field, for the first
: time in 20 years, on March 03, 2007.
:
: Good Luck Team, many are counting on you.
:
: Go Mavs!!
