GCFPC WEEKLY UPDATE – Gettysburg v. Muhlenberg
GCFPC WEEKLY UPDATE – Gettysburg v. Muhlenberg
This Saturday, the Bullets take their high-riding team to Allentown, PA and the home “carpet” of the Muhlenberg Mules.
LOTS OF NOTES ABOUT MUHLENBERG LOGISTICS: Directions to Muhlenberg College can be found at http://www.muhlenberg.edu/muhlinfo/driving.html . An MC Campus map is located at http://www.muhlenberg.edu/muhlinfo/map.html (the Football Stadium entrance is on Liberty Street).
Muhlenberg charges an entrance fee for its games, so remind your favorite player to put your names (and number of needed tickets) on a “will call” list for complimentary family tickets.
The only available Parking is in the residential neighborhood around the Stadium (north, west and east of the Stadium – i.e. along the back of the large home bleachers running along Liberty Street and on nearby streets).
Because of the parking situation, it is difficult for us to Tailgate together, so you’re pretty much “on your own” there (we have requested space from MC for a Tailgate, but have heard nothing yet – we will supplement this email if space becomes available for us). You may want to just enter the Stadium early and watch the team warm up.
Muhlenberg has a nice stadium (with what used to be a “state of the art” artificial turf field), but the stadium’s visitors’ stands are the worst in the league (although the obnoxiousness of McDaniel’s fans infiltrating the entire visitor side comes close). The stands are 4 to 5 rows at ground level behind the visiting team’s bench, so many of the visual lines to the field are “through” the visiting players on the sidelines. In fact, the last time in Allentown many GC fans sat in the well-appointed home stands – we don’t suggest that this time around.
One advantage is that we will be close to the players and able to make our support clearly heard!
It’s Family Weekend at Muhlenberg, so you might want to get there early.
WEEKLY HONORS: Congratulations to Josh Huson on being named the Centennial Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, and to Dusty Green and Tim Widdoes for making the weekly Conference “Honor Roll” for offense and defense, respectively.
SENIOR DINNER: The Senior Dinner has been scheduled for Saturday, December 2nd (noon) at the Gettysburg Hotel Ballroom – more details to follow.

HOME TAILGATING: The home game pre- and post-game Tailgates will resume on November 11th (Homecoming Weekend) at the Pavilion next to Quarry Lake.
That week, Freshmen Parents (last names starting in “M” though “Z”) are asked to provide the “potluck” food.
