Bob's message to the Dinos

On Thursday, November 26, the U of C received the following message for the Dinos football team from Bob Thirsk onboard the International Space Station, in anticipation of their Vanier Cup appearance Saturday against the Queen's Golden Gaels:

Hey U of C Dinos! My name is Bob Thirsk. I am presently in orbit aboard the International Space Station. More important than that, I am a Calgarian and an alumnus of the University of Calgary.

I am so proud of my home city, my university and this year's Dinos football team. I wish you all the best as you represent us in Quebec City. Savour the moments on the field. Remember your coaches and team mates. They help you accomplish much more than you could ever do on your own.

Kick butt.

Bob Thirsk
