Congratulations to to all the Sycamore seniors. All of you can be truly proud of what you all have endured and accomplished in your career. Thank you from all of the past players and future players for putting Indiana State back where it belongs. Please stay involved with this program as it needs your continued support. Again, we are all very proud of all of you! Beat Southern and GO STATE!
Richard Ritter
Congratulations to our senior class this year. To describe how proud we as alumni are would be very difficult to do. All I can say is that to be excited to know we are now competing with the nations best and smacking people around out there is a huge understatement. You men have brought the pride back to the Blue Nation. Your ability to learn how to compete and apply the lessons our coaches have delivered to you will help you succeed for the rest of your lives Enjoy every last moment because it is you last. When you are coming off the field for the last time (hopefully after a national championship!). Be sure you gave it your all. Be sure it was all you had. Have no regrets. When you are finished your next challenge awaits, life outside of the locker room. It does not mean you are no longer a sycamore. When your a statesman your a statesman tride and true for life. I have bled blue since I was on that memorial stadium sideline throwing ball to a receiver named "Miles". My dad "Coach Ritter" told me to pay attention to Miles he can teach you something. He was right. It is a pleasure to see that you men have to listened to Coach Miles. I am proud to be a sycamore an damn prou of my big bro coach miles and so grateful for you young men! Your effort and willingness to put all the nay Sayers to pasture had reborn a nation, the BLUE NATION! We ISU alumni support and love you men of the 2011 senior class. Although you still have work to do, know this, JOB WELL DONE!
Respectfully,
Richard Ritter
