What is that thing?
For anyone who did not watch or listen to the game on Saturday, it looks like we got pounded on paper. But to those that saw it, we saw a team continue to grow. Louisiana State University will be playing for the national championship and we witnessed why on Saturday.
The MT offense could not move against a team that was bigger and faster than us. However, our defense played well on Saturday. We forced LSU's first two turnovers and held our own against a great offense.
Now we turn our attention to Western Kentucky. This game is important for a number of reasons. First, we get to come home. We will be playing in the friendly confines of Floyd Stadium for the first time this year. Our boys are ready to come home and we are ready to see them and tailgate! Second, the Toppers present a challenging opponent, but one we should beat. They played a respectable game against Florida, but then played cupcakes in West Virginia Tech and Eastern Kentucky.
This is the renewal of a fierce rivalry from back in the 90's. It also brings full circle a rivalry between two schools 90 minutes apart that spans all sports. The fans from these two schools love to hate each other. Tailgating for this game will start early, so bring your tents, chairs, and beverages, and lets have a good time while we put a beat down on a new rival, showing them that while they may be 1-A in most sports, this is how we do things in the big leagues!
