Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, and Season's Greetings! Busy times here in Washington D.C. as the Falcons prepare for the Military Bowl on Thursday. Here are a few photos, notes and quotes from the past couple of days ...
A total of 20 Falcons were joined by coach Dave Clawson,
the BG cheerleaders, Freddie Falcon and Santa Claus at the HSC
Pediatric Center on Christmas morning. The Falcons were bringing
season's greetings to the patients at the hospital, singing Christmas carols and bringing presents to some of the children at the hospital.
The Falcons who participated were the team's captains and seniors along with volunteers Jordan Hopgood and Deejay White.
The Falcons will practice this afternoon and then take an evening sight-seeing tour of Washington D.C.
