Spring Break if Over, but the Fun is Just Beginning!

Although the break is over and we are all back to the grind of our weekly schedule, fear not Eagles, there are so many exciting events happening in the coming weeks. For instance, entry forms for the Mr. GSU Competition are due TODAY by 5 p.m. in the Office of Student Activities in the Russell Union! Who do you think will take the crown? Pencil in April 5th at 7 p.m. to find out the answer.

FUN FACT OF THE DAY!

Did you know that in 1981, Erk Russell purchased our traditional yellow school buses from the Bulloch County Board of Education for $1 each? He spent a total of $2 on two buses and used black spray paint to strike through the Bulloch County name on the sides of the buses. Although they were used at first because Georgia Southern's budget did not allow for nicer forms of transportation, the Eagles have continued to use these buses to arrive to the stadium on game days to remind our players and fans of our humble beginnings.

"If you don't have the best of everything, make the best of everything you have" - Erk Russell
