feature several special events at home games, including
fireworks at Family Day and the announcement of the
all-time team at the November 7 home game against
Shippensburg.The teamwill wear a “100”helmet decal, and
special moments in program history will be shared via radio
broadcasts and telecasts, public address and kubears.com.
