For anyone who doesn't know, my husband and I both graduated from Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) in Melbourne, FL and this year is the Inaugural Football season! Florida Tech is NCAA Division 2 and the football team is in the Gulf South Conference (the rest of the sports are in the Sunshine State Conference but there are no other Division 2 football teams in that conference). Anyways, their first game was two weeks ago versus Stetson and they did great! They won 20-13, yay! Then last weekend, we watched their first away game versus Newberry (a small school in South Carolina) and they lost 23 - 19 but they played well and it was a really fun game to watch.
Naturally we were really excited that we had tickets to last night's game (2nd home game) against West Alabama. We knew that Florida Tech would probably lose since West Alabama is nationally ranked but we still had hopes it would be a good game. We started the night off with some drinks at our favorite local bar The Broken Barrel Tavern and then rode their free shuttle over to the game. Unfortunately it kind of went downhill from there since they were losing 28 - 3 at half and finished the game at 45 - 3. Yikes! But we stayed until the bitter end to show our school spirit and hopefully the next game will be better. Go Panthers Football!!
