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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
