CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. ? When the Austin Peay State University Governors football team takes the field in a 6 p.m., Saturday, contest against Tennessee State, it will be a reunion of sorts for many folks.

In fact, members of the 1977 championship team are invited to campus for a number of events on the weekend beginning with a 6:30 p.m., Friday, reception at The Riverview Inn, sponsored by Budweiser.
APSU President Timothy Hall will host the President's Brunch at 9 a.m., Saturday, in the Dunn Center Hall of Fame Lobby. A limited number of brunch tickets are available for $10 each, which can be purchased until Wednesday afternoon at the Austin Peay ticket office.
