Wofford playoff
I'll be darned -- the Wofford-NC A&T playoff game from Spartanburg, SC is on cable here in Houston. Go, Terriers.
UPDATE: Wofford up 10-0 at halftime. Nice sideline interview with President Benjamin Dunlop, noting that Wofford is the smallest school (1100 students) in NCAA Div. I, either A or AA, and gives only 48 football scholarships annually, but the athletic graduation rate at Wofford is #10 in the nation. 20% of the male students are on the football team!
Very different from back in the day (70s) for me. For one thing, Joe Lesesne, the college president from my time, has now retired and is an assistant coach of the football team. That must be unique to the world of small colleges.
UPDATE: Wofford wins 31-10. They looked very good, esp. their running game. In fact, the game summary on MBC Sports says zero yards passing, so it was ALL running, and defense. Next round will be against the winner of Western Kentucky v. Jacksonville State.
UPDATE: AP game story via The State. And Western Kentucky has blown out Jacksonville State 45-7, so it will be the Terriers vs. the Hilltoppers next week.
