ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- If you only look at the Bethune-Cookman University athletics website this week, you might think you are reading about a major wrestling event that is taking place tonight at the B-CU football stadium in Daytona Beach, Fla.
With headlines like “Blackout as Cats host Dogs at The Cage,” it sounds more like a nationally televised WWE pay-per-view event!
Instead, it is a college football meeting at 7:30 p.m. between two Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference rivals, South Carolina State (2-2 overall, 1-0 in MEAC play) and Bethune-Cookman (4-1 overall, 2-0 in MEAC play), in a game that will be shown live on ESPNU.
The host Wildcats do play in Municipal Stadium, which they call The Cage, and BCU athletics is asking for all B-CU supporters to wear black clothing for a unified blackout look in the stands.
So the headlines do make sense. In fact, with the two teams having split (3-3) when playing in Daytona Beach during the last 14 seasons, the game could have the feel of a back-and-forth wrestling match that could end with one team jumping off the top rope to take the win in the final seconds.
