West Texas A&M Buffaloes hand First Loss to Fourth Ranked Midwestern State Mustangs

The West Texas A&M Buffaloes (5-3) hand the #4 Midwestern State Mustangs (6-1) their first loss on Oct. 22 at 6pm in Lone Star Conference NCAA football. The Mustangs came in predicted to win, but those predictions didn't play out on the field. MSU head coach, Bill Maskill said he didn't know what happened in the first quarter when they trailed 21-0, but was glad they kept fighting.

"If I knew what happened, it wouldn't have happened," Maskill said in an interview with 95.5 ESPN. "The good thing was we didn't give up, and we didn't give in, and we kept battling, and made it 21-14 at the half."

The Mustangs were able to get back into the game in the third, and made it 21-24 at the end of the third. Unfortunately for them, they gave up a 70+ yard TD run immediately after taking the lead.

"We did better in the third quarter with our defense, and we were able to get a lead in the third quarter, but what got us was that 70-yard touchdown run," Maskill said. "We were misaligned on the play. The sad part about it was that we should've had two guys outside and both of them should have turned him back in."

He went on to say that there are no excuses for the run, and they should've done better. Devon Paye, the running back who made the 70+ yard run, had himself a fantastic game that night, racking up 190 rushing yards with two rushing touchdowns. He also had a touchdown run. On MSU's side, their best player was, like always, quarterback, Quade Coward. He threw for 141 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 61 yards and two touchdowns.

The Mustangs still lead the Lone Star Conference, but they are not even a game ahead. Texas A&M Commerce is also 6-1 on the season with a 5-1 LSC record. If the predictions are correct for next week, MSU should have no problem against UT Permian Basin (2-6), who are winless in the LSC. Next week's game will be a homecoming for MSU, and that game will begin at 7pm CT in Wichita Falls.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
