WKU Topper Jeff Wrote:I'll admit how little I care for football... I've been to two 1-A football games in my life.  1996 uk vs ul game in Lexington and the 2001 Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida State and Oklahoma (st?). 

Now, I go to EVERY WKU football game and will even travel.  I was privilleged to be able to watch Western win its 1-AA National Championship.

I don't buy season tickets currently in football (I do basketball), I can usually get free ones, but I've said for years if we go 1-A I will by season tickets.  I would increase my  Hilltopper Athletic Foundation (booster organization) if we went 1-A.  I know several other WKU fans that have said the same thing.

Jeff, you don't know what you're missing.

I used to say the same thing when MT was 1-aa. Wait until WKU moves up and you start playing Kentucky, Louisville, Marshall, OSU, etc.

I promise (and I used to be pretty much an "all-basketball" fan in the 80's).

I know MT loses almost all of their "name" football games, but it sure is fun trying. Road trips are much more fun than home games, IMO.

Wish we could get some of the "names" to play us on our home field.

The "Candybuilt" wins were great fun, since Dudley Field is essentially "Jones Field North".
