Austin Peay win more than just historical
 It’s in the Bible. David kicked Goliath’s giant bootie.
Well, something like that.
When Austin Peay beat THE University of Tennessee this weekend, IN Knoxville, it was good to be David.
Reportedly, the smallest crowd to witness a Tennessee home game this year at just over 14,000, (we would kill for that crowd at the Dunn Center), this was a monumental game for ALL Austin Peay State University fans, and fans of coach Dave Loos. They were not expected to win this game. They were supposed to go to Knoxville, break a sweat, pick up a huge paycheck, then go home and prepare for the OVC schedule.
