Football Letter Winners Day: Hanna
Avenue’s Largest Tailgate Party Ever
September 23, 2006
Greyhound fans came early for tailgating and fun
with UIndy friends and former classmates before
the Hounds took the field against the Pumas of
St. Joseph’s College. Before the teams warmed up,
revelers had access to Key Stadium’s SprintTurf to
throw a football around and score their own fantasy
touchdowns. Back by popular demand was the
Athletic Department’s equipment sale, which included
the popular used football jerseys. The 12th-man spirit
helped Indianapolis to a 35-22 win over Saint Joseph’s
in non-conference action. The win extended UIndy’s
winning streak to 11 straight over the Pumas, dating
back to 1995. The Hounds had scored at least 34
points in each of their last five meetings.
Homecoming Extravaganza
September 30, 2006
It was a beautiful day for friendship and football
as alumni and students celebrated Homecoming
Hawaiian-style. The day began with a Philosophy
and Religion discussion facilitated by Dr. Perry Kea,
chair of the University Philosophy and Religion
Department. Alumni from the Communications
Department also visited campus to check out the
department’s new facilities in Esch Hall. The day
continued with a festive picnic where roasted pork
with all the trimmings was served. And the day
wouldn’t have been complete without a Greyhound
victory over Findlay. Fans were entertained with a
special sky delivery of the game ball and fireworks.
UIndy won its fourth straight, 34-16. Greyhound fans
celebrated the win with a postgame celebration at the
nearby Holiday Inn Southeast.
