One down, one to go. With Western’s first year of transition into the Football Bowl Subdivision over, the Toppers (7-5) head into their final bowl-ineligible season in 2008. They take with them the momentum of Western’s 12th consecutive winning season. Athletics Director Wood Selig said it was huge for the football program to continue its winning tradition, especially in the first year of transition to the FBS.

Call the jeweler.
Western secured its 11th consecutive winning season with its 52-12 home-victory over Morehead State Saturday evening.
The players will receive rings for attaining their goal of at least seven victories in their first season as a transitional Football Bowl Subdivision team.

During this year’s preseason camp, the players came up with a “smart” goal for this year: If they won seven games, they would all receive rings for their achievement of a winning record in their first season as a transition Football Bowl Subdivision team.
If the Toppers are able to emerge victorious this Saturday, then a call to the jeweler will have to be made.

Western secured a winning season with its 52-12 victory over Morehead State Saturday evening at Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium.
