ASHEVILLE — The old automatic W pulls into Cullowhee on Saturday when the Mars Hill football squad plays Western Carolina in a 3:30 p.m. start at Whitmire Stadium.
In their past 31 games, dating back to midway through the 2010 season, the Catamounts are 2-29.
Both wins have come in home games against Mars Hill — 52-31 in 2011, the last victory for the disastrous 8-36 reign of WCU coach Dennis Wagner, and 42-14 last year in the debut and only win for second-year coach Mark Speir.
In addition to playing its only FCS opponent this season, Mars Hill gets $40,000 for playing the Cats.
