The idea is that heading into the fourth quarter, regardless of the score, the fans and the team are not backing down and we are going to give it our all. As Coach Wilson says, “All Hands on Deck!”

There are special Orange Come And Take It Flags now, and season ticket holders can pick up 1 free flag per account in the South Lobby of the Alamodome at Saturday's game.
