Ken Beazer's BBC Update

Ken Beazer brings us his weekly Big Blue Club update.

Welcome those who are receiving their first issue of the BBC (Big Blue Club) Update. The BBC Update is a two-way communication venture between Utah State University’s Athletics Department and Aggie fans everywhere, geared specifically to enhance dialogue between the two entities. The BBC Update is disseminated via e-mail and we encourage each of you to forward e-mail addresses of those individuals you believe would enjoy receiving this weekly letter. This medium reaches beyond geographic boundaries to increase awareness about Aggie Athletics and keep fans informed on the various programs and issues surrounding USU Athletics.
WEATHERBIE LANDS AT ULM
Former Aggie Head Football Coach, Charlie Weatherbie, has been named the new head football coach at Louisiana-Monroe. Weatherbie began his three year reign over the Aggie football program in 1992 and left after the 1994 season to accept the head coaching position at the Naval Academy. During his tenure at USU, Weatherbie compiled a 15-19 overall record, including a 42-33 victory over Ball State in the Las Vegas Bowl in 1993.
IRONY
As fate or irony would have it, the 10 year reunion of USU’s 1993 Las Vegas Bowl team is scheduled for September 27, 2003 when the Aggies commence their Sun Belt Conference schedule against you guessed it Louisiana-Monroe. No word from Coach Weatherbie on whether he will be able to make the weekend festivities.

BBC BOARD MEETING RECAP
