Football game centered around election
Because of everything surrounding Tuesday's game, the university is going all out to show the nation what blue-collar football is all about. After NCAA approval, the Bulls will be wearing their blue uniforms while the RedHawks will wear their all-red uniforms, representative of the patriotism surrounding the country and the election.
In addition, the late Tim Russert will be honored in a video montage, while his sister Kathy Russert Hughes and her daughter Ashley will serve as honorary captains for the coin toss. Russert's son, Luke, will provide a video welcome prior to the game.
For those interested in the presidential race as well as the Bulls-RedHawks matchup, WGRZ-TV personality Kevin O'Neill will provide sideline reporting throughout the game with Election Night results as they come to fruition.
