Topper Today: September 4, 2018

Welcome to Topper Today.

Welcome to Topper Today.

I’d like to apologize for the lack of Hilltopper content yesterday. I was busy watching FSU play horrible football.

Anyway, let’s see what September 4 has in store for us all.

12:25 p.m. ET: The Lady Toppers have unveiled their full 2018/19 slate and getting to C-USA play is going to be daunting.

Key non-conference matchups for the Lady Tops include the season opener against Louisville and Iowa at Diddle, trips to Oklahoma and Central Michigan and a rematch against Oregon State in Vancouver as part of the Vancouver showcase.

The Lady Tops also finalized their roster for Greg Collins’ maiden voyage. For a brief round up, click here.

12 p.m. ET: In what I think is the first time in The Towel Rack history, we were cited as a talking point from elsewhere on the WKU circuit.

Big thanks to Dominic for the shout out. And, full disclosure on a couple of points — I was a classmate of Dom, he’s good people. Also, Todd Stewart is a fan of the site and our work. It’s always nice to have friends in high places.

If you missed the piece from our own Matt McCay that was referenced, click here.

9 a.m. ET: It’s a story that’s a couple of days old, but Deon Yelder is a practice squad man in New Orleans.

We’ve seen more than our fair share of Toppers get calls to the league from the practice squad, and here’s hoping Deon is the next in line.
