LIVINGSTON, Tenn. -- Another large turnout made the Purple Pride Caravan stop at the Livingston First National Bank a success Tuesday night. Head coaches Watson Brown and Sytia Messer were among the Tech personnel on hand along with cheerleaders and Awesome Eagle.
Tech fans enjoyed free hot dogs and Pepsi drinks and several fans won prizes in a drawing.

In addition to handing out free tickets to the Golden Eagle football home opener on Thursday, Sept. 16, members of the Tech Athletics staff, the First National Bank branch and Magic 98.5 drew names for prizes including an autographed TTU football helmet and two autographed game jerseys.

Here are a few photos from the event:
