The Alumni Associaton’s first Mulegating of the year began with a bang.
The Association hosted the 1981 SAU football team. Football players enjoyed a Friday night get together at the home of Marcia ’81 and Jeff Jester ’81. Coach Rip Powell enjoyed old football stories with the players and Coach Steve Dingman arrived with an old filmstrip of a 1981 football game.
Lunch at Mule’s Cantina was first on the schedule. It was followed by a meet and greet at the Welcome Center.
Ceil Bridges, director of the Office of Alumni Relations at SAU, put a slideshow together of old photos from 1981.
The Alumni Association golf cart was used to take the players on a tour of the new SAU buildings and residence halls.
All players joined the Alumni Association, and BancorpSouth fed them a free hamburger.
The football players excited the Mulegating crowd when they joined the SAU cheerleaders in a cheer at the pep rally. The football team was recognized at half time of the Muleriders first home football game.
