Cheers to 50 Years!

[unalions]

I just got UNA Magazine in the mail and it the "Cheers to 50 Years" edition to celebrate the "ninth and final" name change to the University of North Alabama from Florence State University. I kinda didn't recall that this happened in 1974 with the transition starting in 1973 (the year I was born).

Yes, I'm turning 50 in September. It's weird. Lol. I feel maybe 30 on most days, 65 on others.

I'm eager to read it to dive in more. It's much bigger than usual, for sure. A special edition.

A Cody Gross interview. Sections on Guillot, Norton, Kilby, and a good few articles about the current athletics environment (CB&S Bank Arena, new football staff, etc.).

Looks cool!

Saw this on ASUN social media today. I don't think I'd ever seen a Florence State logo before!

That Florence State logo is something else. I liked the helmet with the single “F” that we wore a few years ago. I’m always a sucker for throwbacks. 

I was poking around the internet and the only one I could find that hadn’t seen before is this one below. I’d like to have some merch with that!

Very cool!!

Here’s a media guide from the 60s on EBay! Fun to scroll through the pics.
