Great post but don't forget that Livingston, the town - not the team - is a great place to live and visit. I married a young lady from Livingston some 15 years ago and we have come back every year to visit family. We were fortunate enough to live nearby this year so we could attend every home AND road game.
The citizens of Livingston don't live by the successes of the team, the team lives in the proud shadow of the community. A community that includes doctors, lawyers, administrators, business owners, teachers, maintenance workers and people from every socioeconomic background.
This community would do anything for this team not because they are seeing some success this year but because they are the future of Livingston and Overton County. Yes, we have a future and it is bright. We will cheer loud and we will cheer hard this Saturday and win or lose we will head back to our community with the same pride and dignity we left several hours earlier!
Go Hogeye.
