I may be pretending to be a Spartan, but I still bleed Red and White. The Western Kentucky Univeristy Hilltopper football team is looking pretty good this year, having been ranked as high as #1 in NCAA Div 1-AA. They dropped to number three this week after taking a loss from Auburn. But they bounced back this weekend with a
win over Indiana State. OK, so its not Big 10 football or anything but I miss the days of watching the football team in the friendly confines of L.T. Smith stadium. I've been to one MSU football game and it is not the same. Smith stadium has a capacity of about 20,000 and is usually not sold out whereas the Spartan stadium holds over 70,000 and always sells out. It is nice being able practicaly on the field watching the game instead of from a half mile up in the nosebleed section. Anyways, just wanted to stand up and be counted as a Hilltopper.
On a side note, I was on campus today during the big
UM-MSU game (unfortunately, MSU lost). Football Saturdays on a big ten campus are something to see at least once.
