"We hope to see a large turn-out of former players at our annual Alumni Weekend celebration," Coach Baruth said. "We think it's important that alumni come back to see as many games as possible and feel the pride of being part of the program as they reminisce with their brothers. We are proud to welcome our alumni and we want them to know we appreciate their work and sacrifice that helped build the foundation of the program as we know it today."
