Alumni Weekend Live from The Nest

We’re live from The Nest (yes… it’s officially called that now 👀) for Alumni Weekend at Juniata—starting with our Wilkes pregame show, a parade of alumni guests, and the long-awaited recap of the 2026 Ed Mansberger Alumni Game.

Team Blue and Team Gold went to war in a defensive slugfest that somehow still felt like a track meet emotionally. We break down the chirping, the “fraternizing” scandal in the Catholic student section, and the moment the score finally becomes official: Blue 42, Gold 39.

Plus, alumni guests stop by with life updates (new jobs, new towns, weddings, babies, firefighting, nursing, coaching, PA school), predictions for the stretch run, and a whole lot of love for what this program has become.

Notes:

  • We had a couple audio hiccups in the postgame segment, so we patched in reflections to wrap the weekend.

  • The in-game audio from the alumni game is (allegedly) missing. We’re not naming names… but we’re also not not naming names.
