Good Afternoon,

Bulldog Family - With just under 48 hours until our Bulldogs take the field at Raymond James Stadium against Illinois in the ReliaQuest Bowl, I wanted to reach out to thank you for your support this football season and ask for your help in finishing strong Monday in Tampa.

I am incredibly thankful to Jim McVay and the ReliaQuest Bowl Commitee for their invitation to compete in this prestigious January bowl game. Their hospitality has been first class and our team has already had a great experience in Tampa.

On Monday, we need you to help make a difference at Raymond James Stadium by creating a strong home field advantage for our team. The ReliaQuest Bowl has provided us the opportunity to honor our great tradition by allowing cowbells inside Raymond James Stadium - a benefit usually only experienced within the confines of Davis Wade Stadium. With this in mind, I want to ask you to please RING RESPONSIBLY. Let's honor our tradition and show our appreciation for this opportunity by putting down our bells to JUST YELL when the center puts his hand on the ball.

Finally, I am very pleased with a number of unique ways we will honor the life and legacy of Coach Leach during Monday's game. I would encourage you to be in your seats by 11:30 a.m. when the Famous Maroon Band takes the field.

I hope to see you in Tampa - Hail State!
