Pleasant Monday to all of the Panther Nation. It's October which means our football team has been alive and well for a little more than a month of game action. Our boys sit at 3-2. Yep, that's right. Looking forward to Saturday after a fantastic Domecoming.
On we go...
Speaking of Homecoming: I typically let everyone else have their say on the game itself and check the links below from 2 of our perspectives, one from the AJC and one from Morehead State's point of view with some interesting comments by MSU Head Coach.

My take: As I hoped and discussed in my preview, we came out and mashed them in all 3 phases of the game. You can single out great performances (which their were several) and good stretches, I tip my hat to two players for outstanding individual efforts. The first, Nate Anthony (#1 in your program) who as a gunner (outside guys who typically run really fast) realized that the MSU player dropped the ball, pushed him out of the way and recovered the fumble to give the Panthers offense great field position and continue the momentum train chugging along. The second, Jr. TE Arthur 'Bully' Williams showed his might on a 11 catch that should have been for a minimal gain. Instead, he proceeded to drag an Eagle defender into the end zone for the Panthers final TD. Absolutely tremendous power, athleticsm and sheer grit to will his way in.

Attendance and an 'Atta Boy' to our Athletic Dept: I like, many of you, probably received or will receive a phone call from somone in our athletic department checking in. We are nearly half way through the first year and attendance has seemed to be a roller coaster ride as students are continuing to show up in increasing numbers but it seems that many of our season ticket holders are not. A great job by our athletic department to seek answers on why they bought them and have not shown up.
Anyone else paying attention to the other Fall Sports? Women's Soccer is 9-3-1 and off to its best start in CAA play under veteran coach Domenic Martelli. Men's soccer is 4-3-2 and 1-2 in CAA play (the team has already matched its win total from 2009) under new head man Brett Surrency. Volleyball is 9-8 and 3-0 in CAA play under new coach Tami Audia. Have you supported any of the Fall Sports yet? If not, I urge you to check them out.
