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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
