To the Arkansas State University family:

We want to express our deepest thanks to those of you who made the trip to Mobile for a fourth consecutive GoDaddy Bowl; it truly is 'Howlabama.'

Your involvement not only championed the Red Wolves, it exemplified the spirit of A-State alumni, fans and friends and continues to build relationships among these groups. That you took the time, made the effort and incurred the expense to travel during the holiday season, is most humbling to those of us here at the university.

Those of you who bought tickets to help deserving students and members of the military are to be commended; thank you for your #RedWolves spirit. To the large group of A-State students who made the trip during their winter break, we are also grateful; your presence not only cheered on the team, but also showed a national audience we are building the A-State brand as a destination university. Your continued support of these high-achieving student-athletes is immeasurable and very much appreciated. We are all very proud of them and the way they represent A-State.

As a member of the pack, your participation is just another example that reinforces the phrase #AlwaysRising. Arkansas State continues to garner positive attention, offer a classic university experience, and build positive, lifelong relationships, thanks to you. We would also like to hear from you; give us a call, write or email us or tweet us (@ArkansasState). We look forward to your continued involvement with A-State, particularly on Sept. 12 when we open the home football season with Missouri.

Again, thank you for your unwavering support of Arkansas State University.

Go Red Wolves!
