WTAMU UPSETS ACU

Most of you may not know, but I went to college at WTAMU in Canyon, TX which is just south of Amarillo. Hence, I'm a big WT fan, especially when it comes to their football program. WT has been doing very well this year, but this year they have struggled a bit due to 2 players going to the NFL and the others graduating from last years team. We have a young team this year which is the main reason we have been struggling. What hurt us even more is this. Our star running back, Keithon Flemming was injured in practice about a week before the season started and didn't get to play until October 10th.

Our record coming into Saturday October 18th was 2-5 which was disappointing after the great seasons we have previously had. We went into the game Saturday playing the #1 team in the nation which was Abilene Christian. Abilene has not lost a regular season game in 2 years! The last time they got beat, it was WT that did it. Well, I have great joy in saying that we beat ACU yesterday 32 to 21!!! In the history of WT football, we had never before beat a #1 ranked team before.

Running back Keithon Flemming had 4 touchdowns to his name and the Buffs defense looked incredibly good. I am so proud of these guys for showing true grit and determination when things didn't look so bright for them. They deserve this victory, and I think it's the most important win ever in the football program. All I can say is this:

GO BUFFS!!!
