BU/Harvard flag football this Sat., Oct. 4th

by Paul McNeeley

To Harvard Football Alums, Many of you are aware that Boston University dropped football several years ago. Since the day it was dropped, there has been a group of former BU football players, some of whom you may have played against, who have worked to keep alive the idea of bringing football back to BU. In a continuing effort, some friends of mine have asked me to participate in a flag football game on Saturday, October 4th @ 10:00 am at the new Nickerson Field. The field has the new "Field Turf." This may be important given the relative age and condition of many of us, myself included!!! They want to draw attention to the issue before they talk to the BU brass. A BU/Harvard "fun football event" can help them accomplish this. The effort should attract media interest since several prominent BU alums, including Mike Barnacle, will be playing in the game, thus drawing significant attention to the issue on the part of the new Boston University President and others at BU involved in the decision. To that end I have offered to participate, and would like to invite you to participate in this worthwhile cause for our BU brothers and former and future BU football players. The rules are simple...there are no rules except to have fun...and whoever finishes with the most points will be judged to have cheated and will lose by default!! The winning team buys the libations. The BU Athletic Department will provide free food after the game. Email me or call me in Winchester at (781) 729-4058 or (508) 360-5619 (cell). The game of football has been good to many of us...so let's do what we can to assist more young men to enjoy the same opportunities by helping to revive the long and proud tradition of Boston University football. Best wishes, Bobby Leo '67 Paul McNeeley Friends Coordinator, Harvard Varsity Club Direct: 617-496-9356 Main: 617-495-3535 Fax: 617-496-8296 Murr Center 65 North Harvard Street Boston, MA 02163

Also, an important note from the Harvard Athletic Department about season tickets ... Dear Friend of Harvard Football: Thank you for your generous support of the Harvard Football program. Your commitment and support is very much appreciated. While we rely on the financial generosity of the Friends of Harvard Football, we are in need of another kind of support -- the support that only fans in the Stadium can provide. If you are not already a season ticket holder for Harvard Football, we would like to ask you to consider becoming one today. The team depends on the game-day energy and support that season ticket holders provide from the stands. Even if you are not able to attend all six home games, by offering unused tickets to a friend or colleague you are helping support the Crimson in their game-day efforts and exposing more people to the fun and excitement of the Crimson. Season tickets are $75 this year for the general public and only $24 for children who are in 8th grade or younger. Please consider becoming a season ticket holder today, it is one of the most important ways that you can support Harvard Football. You can place your order through the Harvard Ticket Office at 1-877-GO-HARVARD (1-877-464-2782), or online at www.gocrimson.com. Thanks as always for your continued support of Harvard Football -- see you at The Stadium!
