Honestly, most of my memories are connected with basketball
Back when we were in the ovc:
As a student I traveled three times to Diddle Arena. mind you this was just a few years removed from WKU's Final Four appearance. Each time I sat in the bleachers where their suites are now. The arena seated about 15k back then.
The only thing I remember from the first time is there about 1500 MT fans in the bleachers and a lot of us students were singing a little ditty with a western flair. 'Western, Western, Western, how'd you like to bite my .....
The second time, the biggest thing I remember is the western point guard after the inbounds dribbled to mid court completely out of bounds the ovc ref watching him and did not stop play.
The third time, a very good MT team played extremely well and won 102-95 (this was long before a shot clock and long before the three point shot). We won our first conference championship tourney in basketball that year (wku was not eligible due to NCAA violations that year but MT swept wku in conference play so there was no argument who was the better team)
Also a home game with wku when I was a student, I watched on four straight trips down the floor, Freddy Allen launch shots just a couple feet past the midcourt circle and hit them. This was before the arc and the three point shot.
In 1982, watched as WKU hosted the ovc tourney in their last season as a member of the ovc, MT squeaked by Murray State IIRC in semifinals and met wku in finals and upset them. MT advanced to NCAA where MT in first round of NCAA defeated Kentucky Wildcats in Nashville.
I think it was Kermit's second year that MT beat wku in Diddle during the tourney, and Kermit inserted a walk on guard from Bowling Green to dribble out the last seconds of the game.
In football, I remember traveling up to watch Kelly Holcomb play as freshman and happened to sit behind Dr James Walker who was sitting with the regular MT fans. That was the last game MT and wku played for awhile. Boots was extremely unhappy with old man harbaugh who taken in a QB transfer from MT who was stealing MT signals from the wku coach's booth. It would be the last game played for about 15 years until wku moved to 1a and it became a sun belt conference game.
I remember traveling to BG in 2015 with some friends and leaving at half or just before half because wku was stomping MT and exposing CRS as the clueless coach we all know him to be now...
WKU has had the upper hand since we both moved to CUSA. What bothers me is that 1-4 record the last five years should bother Stockstill, Massaro, and McPhee, but it apparently doesn't.
