Senior Captain Patrick Millikan — The Wabash Football Family suffered a wrenching loss last Saturday. We arrived in Springfield after a great week of practice, planning to show the conference and the country who we were. Needless to say, the game did not go as planned.

However, that does not mean that are identity as a team will not arise from this game. A big win can prove the worth and determination of a team, but a big loss can, too. This loss will not keep the Little Giants from our goals. We can still accomplish everything we set out to do.

Unfortunately, we are no longer in control of our own destiny. Our failure to triumph in a game we should have won has left us at the mercy of the other members of the NCAC. Time will tell what our future will be.

Though there are no longer any guarantees for the playoffs, I can guarantee you this: Our family will not stop and will not give up. We will not come crashing down from the result of a conference loss. We will grow from it. We will fix the problems evident in last Saturday’s game, knowing now the result of such inadequacies.

I encourage all who read this to come see the Little Giants play, because you won’t be disappointed. Our football family never gives up, and WABASH ALWAYS FIGHTS!
