Remember The Titans. It’s not just the name on a Jerry Bruckheimer Film starring Denzel Washington. Remember the Titans is the theme for a March 7, 2009 reunion inviting former Cal State Fullerton players, coaches and staff to return to campus.
In years past, former CSUF football players and coaches would organize reunions at local restaurants in and around the Fullerton area. On March 7, 2009, Titan Football players will come together at 1 pm for a reunion that will be held in Titan Stadium. Football players, coaches and staff from the early 1970′s all the way to the early 1990′s are invited to attend and will be treated to lunch, music and guest speakers.
Guest speakers scheduled to address the former players and coaches include CSUF Athletic Director Brian Quinn, former NFL head coach and current NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci and Gene Murphy, the former CSUF Head Football coach whose name is synonymous with Titan Football. Other prominent Titan Football alumni and former coaches may also address those gathered.
The football reunion is invitation only and only those that were former players, coaches and staff can attend the official reunion at Titan Stadium. After the reunion, many of the former players plan to join the Cal State Fullerton Homecoming tailgate party and Men’s Basketball game in Titan Gym. Both the tailgate party and basketball game are open to the public. At halftime of the basketball game, a special presentation honoring the legacy and contributions of Titan Football to CSUF will be made. The tailgate party begins at 3:00 pm in front of Titan Gym, immediately followed by the Men’s Basketball game vs. UC Irvine at 5:00 pm.
Those former Titan Football players, coaches and staff that have not received an official invitation in the mail are encouraged to contact Kellie Cox, Marketing and Spirit Coordinator, at (714) 278-7016 or via Email. Players should provide their name, complete contact information and the year they played football for the Titans.
A special web page dedicated to the reunion has been created. Former players and coaches can RSVP for the reunion by visiting fullerton.edu/footballreunion. We hope to see as many players, coaches and staff from the past come out and help CSUF “Remember the Titans”.
