GCFPC WEEKLY UPDATE
Game 2 – Hampden-Sydney
Following an exciting game and thrilling victory against Lebanon Valley College, the 2005 Bullets travel to Hampden-Sydney College to challenge the nationally ranked (No. 23) Tigers and their razzle-dazzle offense. The “home-cooking” by the local folks near Farmville, Virginia who wear black and white stripes has been notoriously evident in recent visits (not to mention the aggressiveness of the H-S coaching staff in “riding” the local officials), so this could be wild ride for the Bullets. They have a chance to really make a statement in the Old Dominion (Virginia, to us northerners).
DIRECTIONS / VENUE: Directions to Hampden-Sydney are located at: http://www.hsc.edu/visitors/ HSC, at least in the past, has not charged an admission fee to the game but does charge a few dollars to each car parking for the game on the campus.
TAILGATING NOTES: As with all away games, all tailgating this weekend is 100% “bring your own.” If you can make it early enough to tailgate with other GC families, after you enter the campus continue past the stadium and make two left turns to the lower parking area (toward the visitors stands) and look for the car flags from other GC families attending the game. It’s pretty tough to get together there.
LAST SATURDAY’S GAME: Hopefully, this game will be a great omen for the future. Congratulations to Tom Sturges, who was named offensive player of the week in the Centennial Conference for his key rushing performance for the Bullets last Saturday.
LAST SATURDAY’S TAILGATE: Thank you all for the great start to this season’s Tailgates – especially to the Senior parents who contributed to“pot luck” food for all. This email is going out too late tonight to be able to make sure we thank all those who helped to set up, bring food, and help clean up at the Tailgate -- BUT, we need to recognize Bill and Sue Finnegan who, as Tailgate leaders, were key to our first Tailgate of the season and to the Phillips and McGarry families who worked the 50/50 raffle (congratulations Kay and Lee Churchman on your winning ticket!). Now that our new members have seen how things can be, we are hoping to carry through with this strong start. There were a few things that need some organizational tweaking, so suggestions are very much welcomed.
VOLUNTEERS: We are hoping more folks will help out with merchandise sales, clean- up and food contributions next week at the home Tailgate. Junior families are specifically assigned, but all are encouraged to contribute some food or drinks (a potluck item to serve 10 –12 people is suggested).
