Bill Culhane was perusing Twitter while doing some research in his Dripping Springs home one Friday evening on Sept. 15, 2017.
He was preparing to co-host with Brant Freeman on the radio broadcast of Texas State’s home game against Appalachian State the next day at 6 p.m. He came across a tweet with a link to the Dripping Springs Tigers broadcast of the team’s road game at Buda Hays, called by Clint Shields on KDRP/Sun Radio. Culhane decided to tune in and listen to the second half.
It ended up being one of the most intense games of the season for the Tigers. Junior wide receiver Parker Alford scored a touchdown to put Dripping Springs up 21-17 with 3:49 left to play. Senior cornerback Ryland Kinnard snagged his second pick of the game in the end zone on the next drive to seal the victory over the Rebels.
