Ithaca College

The results of this year’s Cortaca Jug mean more than they ever have in the past. Not only are we giving it our all to retain the Jug and make our team and school proud, but this is also the final Jug Game for our senior class, and we will be playing in front of a NCAA Division III record crowd! This has upped the ante.

We need our fans to show up to the game, rock the stadium with cheers, and remember to keep the tradition of the game clean. Many look forward to this game all year long and it’s a tradition that we want to continue for many years to come, when we are also alumni so – Let’s keep it classy:

·       Cheer with Bomber pride! No need for swearing, yelling at the opposing players/teams, fighting, or negative distractions from the game.

·       Let’s not let the Cortaca tradition be defined by any negative media attention that comes from a minority of people who care more about posting pre-game/party selfies than the football game itself. Social media posts can have lasting consequences, for the ones doing the posting as well as for those named or pictured in the posts.

·       While this should go without saying, remember also to be respectful visitors. We have been afforded the unique opportunity to play at a NFL stadium so please be respectful while you’re in New Jersey.

·       If you are not making the trip to New Jersey, please be respectful in the Ithaca community.

Please represent our school in a way that makes us proud to represent you. We hope to see you all there this Saturday, November 16, at MetLife Stadium at 1 p.m. Be loud and proud to be Bombers, and keep the Jug on South Hill!
