Obscure game of the week, brought to you by some amazing soap:
This week, Bacone College travels to Howard Payne, where the Warriors will meet the Yellow Jackets in a classic Oklahoma/Texas battle. These two Division 3 (Whoops, Football “Actually going to class” Subdivision) schools both have interesting heritages.
Howard Payne was founded by the Pecan Valley Baptist association, and have faculty who have published a text on “Right to Die” ideologies. Let’s hope they aren’t on the sports medicine staff as well.
Bacone College is a 4 year American Baptist college whose mission is to serve Native Americans. They have an interesting mission statement for their athletic department, which includes the following:
