Dear Alums, The Dukes are off to a 2- 2 start with a lot of upside. Both non-conference losses were very respectable against some strong teams. Buffalo has given Pitt a run for their money and Youngstown State is a perennial powerhouse. The Dukes two wins over Dayton and Monmouth were exciting games and the Dukes showed excellent speed at the running back and receiver positions and a very physical defense. The Homecoming game against West Liberty is Saturday October 4th. There will be a radio show Friday night from 7-8 pm at Cupka’s ll on the South Side, there will be appetizers and one free drink offered. The Pre-Game Tailgate Party Saturday will be in the large tent by Mellon Patio, the cost is $13.00 per person. Football alumni are encouraged to take part in the “Rally to Rooney”. Gather in front of Old Main by 12:30 to lead the procession to the field and form the team tunnel.
