It's not how you start, it's how you finish!



 All I can say is wow, what a game! Mu Rho was looking at a winless 0-4 season last night, but with pride on the line, we played like a team together. Brother Kevin got the team fired up from the get go with a Spartan-esq chant that had the team literally ready to tear Delta Tau Delta apart. The game did not start off pretty though, a quick strike to "cheater girl" had the opponents up a touch down. With Lando as QB, we responded with a quick td strike to Santo in the back of the end zone to keep things close. Catches by all of the girls on offence really had the team firing on all cylinders, not to mention a monster ground game. The girls were running all over them, this was going to be our night! As the first half came to a close, Lando hit Bojangles on a ridiculous  corner route that had her running for a td to make Mu Rho ahead at the half, 15-11. After we celebrated the touchdown, we had to be cautiously optimistic. We were ahead, but we recognized we still had another half to play perfect football if we wanted to get the win. The second half proved to be a defensive Quagmire (giggity). Shutdown defense by Mu Rho had DTD stuck without much firepower through most of the second half. Kyra and Brooks, really got in their QB's dome by a constant barrage of blitzing and key sacks that stopped their offence. They were all up in their grills!! Mu Rho moved the ball on offence with key catches by Grits, Santo, and Squared but not enough to put up anymore points. It would come down to the defense to hold the lead. I cannot mention defense, without bringing up Tommy's name. He had a clutch int to take away one of their scores near the end zone. Kyra's 25 yard monster sack had Mu Rho tasting a victory as time ticked away. Mu Rho goal line stand at the last minute of the game was all she wrote. Victory! More than just a win, I feel that this was an UNBEIVELABLE bonding experience for all of the brothers. Not to mention the additional support of our great fans that keep us motivate throughout. I can for sure say that was one of my best moments I have had as a brother in DSP. It was a great way to send us graduated seniors out on a high note. We wrapped up the season by a chant that could be heard through the entire campus. "WHEN I SAY DELTA, YOU SAY SIG! DELTA! SIG! DELTA!SIG!!!"
