Who's Speaking This Week
Even with the start of 2011 season just days away and game plans in the making, Coach Zook and his staff still need to be looking ahead to subsequent years. Coach Zook will be on the road recruiting this 
Friday and therefore will not be able to speak at our season opening luncheon. In his place, the Coach has asked Offensive Coordinator and Receivers
Coach Paul Petrino to kick off the year with the Quarteback Club. Those of you who have heard Coach Petrino share his game day strategy know that you do not want to miss his insight to the Arkansas State game.
Assistant Athletic Director of Compliance Ryan Squire will join Coach Petrino at this Friday's luncheon. Always a great speaker, Ryan will help walk us through that maze known as NCAA compliance. |
