Football season is back on the Hill. We’ve waited eight long months to see Mike Sanford’s debut. The fact that the game is against an old rival in EKU makes this better than your average affair against a FCS squad. We can finally stop talking about football and watch our beloved Hilltoppers take the field.
Go Tops! Everything is a go for successful opener, hopefully the weather holds up, send us your tailgating pictures via Twitter at @TheTowelRackWKU or on our Facebook page and we’ll share.
