Southern Arkansas University is one of a handful of universities in the nation getting the opportunity to be highlighted on MTV. On 5 p.m. Friday, October 17 in the SAU Mall area, students, faculty, staff and the community are encouraged to come out and participate in a pep rally to cheer the Muleriders on to victory against their next rival Ouachita Baptist University at a game scheduled at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, October 18, in Arkadelphia.
Besides the chance to have a lot of fun, it will also give everyone the opportunity to appear on MTV, which is broadcast worldwide.
Mulegating will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Mall area, with the pep rally beginning at 5 p.m. The SAU cheerleaders will be there to rally everyone, including the Mulerider football team. The SAU band will perform for everyone’s entertainment.
There will be free hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings. Everyone is encouraged to dress in their Mulerider gear and get ready to cheer! The student organization judged to have the most spirit will win a $500 prize and the first 500 people to arrive at the Pep Rally will receive a free T-shirt commemorating the event. Students will also have the opportunity to win a free Nintendo Wii.
Inclement weather isn’t going to stop this pep rally. In case of rain, the pepped up Muleriders will head to W.T. Watson Athletic Center for an indoor celebration.
