TOWSON, Md. - Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz has announced that the lights on the dome of the Historic County Courthouse will be turned gold on Tuesday in support of the Towson Tiger football team as it heads to Frisco, Texas on Saturday at 2:00 P.M. in its quest for a national championship.
In addition, the County Executive is asking all County residents and employees to wear black and gold (for the Towson Tigers and not that team in Pennsylvania) this Friday in a show of support for Coach Rob Ambrose and his team.
"When the Towson football team takes the field this Saturday, we want them to know that all of Baltimore County is on the sideline with them," said Kamenetz. "The Tigers have had an amazing run, and we are so proud to be home to this great program. Being underdogs is nothing new for Coach Ambrose's team, so I would say look out Bisons."
"We are overwhelmed with pride for our Towson University football team," said Towson President Dr. Maravene Loeschke. "They are driven, focused and humble students who welcome the opportunity to represent the university, the Towson community, and the state in the national arena."
The Tigers, who are ranked fifth in NCAA FCS, have won three straight NCAA FCS playoffs games, beating No. 9 Fordham, No. 2 Eastern Illinois and No. 3 Eastern Washington. Towson is now 13-2 on the season. Top-ranked North Dakota State (14-0) has won two straight national championships.
The game will be broadcast locally on ESPN 2.
