Pre-Game Excitement was in the air on the eve of the season ' s first game against Southwest Baptist! Alumni gathered in the Fellowship Room and were shown film clips of past games. Memorabilia such as an original jersey worn by an alumni Bulldog, a dated Stespean and news clippings sparked remembrances of past games. Afterwards, a crowd gathered in Pfeiffer Hall for a wake in honor of the Southwest Baptist Bearcat. All dutifully mourned as Reverend Powell recited a eulogy for the Bearcat in his coffin. Bulldog fans then hoisted the coffin and marched to the field, where the bearcat was burned in effigy amid yells of Beat the Bearcats! . The morning before the game, alumni and Bulldogs ate brunch together. At 1:15 parachutists, trailing colored streams of smoke, landed on Union ' s field. A football was handed to Turner and Green, to Howard (all former Union football players), then to President Phillips, who handed it to the 1984 Bulldogs. Fans, alumni and student screams filled the air as the announcer began the game with THIS IS BULLDOG COUNTRY! . At right: Bonfire pictures. Pam Hensley (behind box) and Kelly Roaden carry supplies. Fans begin to gather.

And Forward . . Planning the football program became a community affair. Ossie Burch and Bill Nau, former Union College football players, were instrumental in raising funds to kick off the program, Knox Central Vocational School built the ticket booths. A concession stand was built. A 30 ' by 8 ' press box, built by Dant Company of Louisville, features 12 windows, light, heating and accommodates 15-20 people. Four hundred hemlock bushes were placed around the field. Pepsi-Cola Company of Corbin donated the scoreboard (Top photo). Bob Potter, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, designed the weight room. (Center of bottom photo) It features free weights, two offices, an equipment room, laundry facilities and a 30 ' by 56 ' weight-lifting area for bench presses, squat racks, meek machines and incline benches. Shown with Mr. Potter are Coach Shackleford and Pete Moore. The bulldozing was done by contractor Burchell Blevins (Center of middle photo). Shown with him are former Coach Pate and President Phillips. A stadium was also built, which has a seating capacity of 1,500 people. Benefactors, too numerous to name, will be permanently engraved on a plaque and attached to the stadium.
