Although it comes a day late, Billy and I here at The Wire wanted to wish our brother and friend, Brian Pate, the best of birthday wishes.

Brian’s tireless efforts in the support of A&M-Commerce athletics has made this website what it is today. He gave us an opportunity to come along for the ride, and what a ride it has been.

I chose this picture because it is what makes Brian the happiest. Huge game, and a full stadium.

Enjoy, my friend. You deserve it.
