Rhodes Football Alumni,

    I would like to take this opportunity to mention a new and exciting development in the Rhodes College Football Program. Dennis Grzeskowiak (’02), Ryan Loesch ('98) and I have formed the Rhodes College Football Alumni Association (R.C.F.A.A.). With your assistance, we can start to repay the Rhodes Football program for the lasting memories and friendships it has given each of us. Our initial goal is to make contact with every former player, have them register online and eventually achieve 100% class participation in financial contributions to the football program, no matter how big or small the donation. For the past three seasons, every member of the 2002 class contributed to the program, and now we would like to have the same dedication from every class.

    Due in large part to the work of Ryan Loesch we now have a fully operational online database that will keep everyone up to date during the season with the current Lynx as well as allow alumni to reconnect and network across the country. We will continue to update the site as necessary and are always open to suggestions for changes or additions.

    Following a strong 2003 season during which the Lynx finished with their best record since 1990 and defeated national power Trinity University and a 2004 season that saw 14 Lynx named All-SCAC this is an extremely exciting time for anyone involved in Rhodes Football, past or present. Everyone who has ever worn a helmet with the Lynx paw on its side helped to build the foundation for the current success of this program. We ask that you now help propel this program into the future. If you are interested in becoming a class representative and assisting with the initial development of this beneficial organization, please contact Lane Young, Dennis Grzeskowiak, or Ryan Loesch at admin@lynxfootball.com.

    I sincerely think that in the years to come we will all have played a major and vital role in the formation of something that will do wonders for Rhodes College Football, both past, present, and into the future.

Sincerely,

Lane Young – Class of ‘02
