You may have seen a new look to ACU's student sections at home football and basketball games this fall. The Wildcat Wranglers, decked out in their purple and white striped overalls, are a new student group on campus. This group of nine freshmen have made it a point to get there early, stay late, and be loud for the Wildcats! The Wranglers were personally invited by head coach Keith Patterson to travel with the team to the Central Arkansas game on Nov. 22.
