While watching the game on their TVs, alums tuned in to the virtual tailgate experience on Shindig where they could mingle, socialize and share with one another. Organizers offered other updates on topics of interest for alumni as well as engaged all in trivia contests and other icebreaker activities. 100s of alums participated and shared the experience -- their showing of support was undoubtedly a decisive factor in the decisive 42-0 victory over Middle Tennessee State.
