08/28/99 - The MSU soccer team played their season opener against the number 6th ranked UAB team at Birmingham and was defeated 2 to 0. According to my source, our team played very well against a team that, as you see by their ranking, is very good. To the Bulldogs credit, only one of the goals was earned when you consider UAB scored one goal on a free kick. After the first half, the score was 2-0, UAB. During the second half, MSU played UAB even. And, according to my source, State looked very, very good during this half.
What makes our team's performance even more impressive is UAB just got back from a Central American trip where they had played six games, which gave them a huge advantage over our team.

08/03/99 - First, I would like to thank MSU athletic director Larry Templeton for granting me an interview Monday. His entire interview can be read next Monday. One of the things that Larry mentioned was the addition of the sport of Equestrian, which will be a new women's sport. This addition will help MSU meet it's Title IX act requirements. It should be ready to go in the year 2000.
