Fall 2006

Homecoming 2006 A promising sophomore quarterback will lead a young Bears team as Morgan State University takes on Delaware State University Saturday, October 21st in what is being billed as Homecoming 2006 “The Evolution of Champions.” “Alumni can expect to see the Morgan Bears play a great football game at Hughes Stadium, and to participate in other campus activities,” said Floyd Kerr, MSU athletic director. Byron Selby, a product of Baltimore’s Dunbar High School, led the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in passing last year. Anxious to improve on last year’s disappointing 2-9 record, the team will also look for big contributions from senior running back Craig Nelson and wide receiver, Jai Wilson. The Bears face a tough challenge in the Delaware State Hornets, who return 11 starters, including seven on offense. They surprised many last year, posting a solid 6-2 record in conference play. Cold Spring Lane will serve as memory lane

Saturday will begin early with the judging of the best decorated dormitory, and the Homecoming parade. This year’s grand marshals will be the 1979 Football MEAC Championship Team. Alumni are urged to come and enjoy all festivities; the tailgate parties, the halftime show put on by the Magnificent Marching Machine, the familiar hug of a long-lost friend in the stands and the splendor of the old campus with its new buildings and renovations. Parking will be available in our new garage at a cost of only $10.00. Come participate in a new era and watch “The Evolution of Champions” at Morgan’s 2006 Homecoming.
