Excitement Level — 6
Homecoming is always a fun time to come back to Bowling Green and watch some football against a team that WKU should beat. Charlotte fits that bill to a tee, being winless and noncompetitive in most of their games. Unfortunately WKU hasn’t given fans alot to excite them heading into this one. They’ve struggled to put even the most hapless teams away. Once again we’ll see if this is the game that WKU shows signs of life on offense and hope we can all head into a crucial road trip to ODU with some much needed optimism.
Go Tops! Let’s all stay positive and hope that WKU turns the corner in this one. We’ll be providing live coverage of this match-up. If you‘re tailgating on this perfect day, please send us your tailgating and in-game pictures via Twitter at @TheTowelRackWKU or on our Facebook page and we’ll share.
