This past fall I attended the football homecoming game between the Southwestern Oklahoma State University Bulldogs and the East Central University Tigers. I went to the game with a few friends in hopes of having a good time, but little did I know that this particular game would be the highlight of my sophomore fall semester. East Central carried the lead for the majority of the game with a score of 13-0. The Bulldogs didn’t make their comeback until early in the fourth quarter when Johnathan Haggerty caught a 38 yard touchdown pass cutting the Tiger’s lead to 14-7. On the Bulldogs last possession of the game, Steve Day, the Bulldog’s quarterback completed passes to Joe Sawyer and Haggerty putting the bulldogs on the ECU 5 yard line. Southwester was whistled for offensive pass interference; this moved them back to the ECU 19 yard line with only 4 seconds left in the game. Day found Haggerty open in the end zone and tied the game at 13-13. Chad Mclntosh, the kicker for Southwestern scored the extra point giving the Bulldogs a 14-13 victory over the ECU Tigers. As soon as the Bulldogs won the crowd erupted with excitement and fireworks went off around the stadium. This was by far the most memorable moment of my fall semester and a great reason to make sure you’re at Milam stadium next fall cheering on the Southwestern Bulldogs in hopes they will find similar success on the newly renovated field.
