BLOOMSBURG, Pa. - As the Bloomsburg football team moves back this weekend and begins preseason camp, Huskies head football coach Frank Sheptock announced the dates for "Huddle with the Huskies" this fall at the Quaker Steak and Lube located on Columbia Mall Drive.

Two dates have been established for the 2023 season series with the first one to be held on Thursday, September 7. The next "Huddle with the Huskies" dinner and program will be on Thursday, October 12 - two days prior to the Huskies' Homecoming date against Lock Haven and the Hall of Fame celebration weekend when standout running back, Franklyn Quiteh, is inducted in the Bloomsburg athletics Hall of Fame. The Huskies will honor the 2013 team during the game on Saturday as well as adding the late Brian Clarke's number, #77, to the list of honored jerseys at Bloomsburg.

The events are open to the public with dinner beginning at 6:00 p.m. and a short program to follow. A buffet dinner will be held each night with the cost of the meal being $16.99 (plus tax) per person - including a non-alcoholic beverage. Following the dinner, Coach Sheptock will speak about the season, preview the upcoming game(s), and introduce members of the coaching staff and players from this year's roster.

The Huskies boast a five-game home slate this season. After spending the first two weeks on the road, Bloomsburg returns to Danny Hale Field at Redman Stadium for the final East/West Crossover as the Huskies host Edinboro on September 16 at 2:00 p.m.
 
After a trip to Shippensburg to wrap up the month of September, the Huskies host two-straight games at Redman when they welcome Kutztown on October 7 for a 2:00 p.m. contest.
