First, I know that Lance has already posted an official release, but go to ESPN.com, click on the College football tab and on the bottom right-hand corner of the page there is a mug shot of Bruce Feldman promoting his blog. The title tonight is "The return of Billy Don Malone."Don't let the middle name confuse you, it's our boy. I would give you the link, but I want you to do a little work to get to it.
Secondly, ACU is chartering two buses to Canyon Saturday morning for ACU fans to go to the game. All Wildcat fans have to do is pay for the ticket to the game and their own food. In response to West Texas A&M's "Maroon Out" campaign for Saturday's game, the ACU Athletic department is encouraging Wildcat fans to wear purple to show our own unified support of the team.
I would hope that there will be a concerted effort for fans to show up for one of the biggest games in the school's football history, however, if you aren't unable to make it, luckily you can show your support by viewing the game on local TV on KTAB (Channel 10 for SuddenLink; Channel 32 for rabbit ears)
I won't talk much about the hype of the football game, you can get an insight of that by:
Reading the game notes, &
Listening to a podcast with head coach Chris Thomsen (10:10)
Although most of the fall sports are smack in the middle of their regular seasons, it is always an exciting time on Oct. 15 when the basketball teams take the floor officially. Both head coach Jason Copeland and Shawna Lavender were at ACU's Athletics Media Luncheon this afternoon talking about the upcoming season.
The Wildcat men are picked to finish third in the LSC South after their first LSC postseason appearance in a decade last season. The Wildcat women are picked to finish second in the LSC South after finishing with an 11-3 mark in league play and an LSC Tournament win in the quarterfinals.
Below are pictures of both Copeland and Lavender in action today in the first official practice of the 2008-09 season.
You'll get a chance to hear a podcast from both Lavender and Copeland at some point this week, so check back on the blog to hear from them. Lavender's would have been available today, however, we had technical difficulties and lost the interview.
I had a chance to catch up with head soccer coach Casey Wilson today. Here are his comments on the upcoming weekend in which the team plays host to two conference matches. The Wildcats need to finish in the top six in the LSC to make the postseason in only the program's second year of existence.
The Wildcats are currently 1-2-1 in conference play and are standing seventh. ACU plays Central Oklahoma Friday at 4 p.m.; the Bronchos are 3-1 in league play and are second in the LSC behind WTAMU. Sunday, Southwestern comes to town at 2 p.m. and are 0-4 in conference play.

On the night of Sept. 16, 2006, the Wildcats whipped the then-10th-ranked Savage Storm, 51-14, to improve to 2-0. Since that game, ACU is 18-6 while the Savage Storm is 9-12.
