The 2009 FVSU/CAU Xperience

Whew, what a day. If Saturday is any indication of how successful the 2009 BCFx Road Tour will be, let me say we are well on our way to a wonderful Xperience. First and foremost I want to thank all the fans, alumni, staff, and students from FVSU and CAU for all the support you gave us this weekend.

I was twit
tering (@MrBCFx) throughout the day of how the day went, but for those not on twitter, or not following me, here is how the day went.

We arrived at Fort Valley at 4am EST. We got to the new FVSU stadium early in the afternoon.




On the way to the stadium we were met by the Valley Girls. More on them, later.






We met our contact and then got asked to be in the Parade. We took the BCFx Bus to the Valley Girls to get it washed.





They are an organization on campus that does community service and raises money for the Athletic department. When the bus was clean, we made a donation to their scholarship fund on behalf of Nerjyzed Entertainment.



After the bus was washed we stopped on the side of the road where J-Right saw a Fish and Chitterlings sign.

We were told by the woman who owned the stand, where the fish was fried per order, to ask the next stand over about the Scuppernongs. Of course I had no idea what that was, so I had to go see for myself about this odd fruit. We bought some but then came to realize that 2 or 3 would have sufficed.





After the food adventure it was time to get in the parade.

Before the parade started we took pictures with the Cheer Squad and the Dancing Girls.



After the parade, we headed back to the school to set up at the Carnival.


A camera crew met us as soon as we opened the doors and J-right worked his magic and got everyone in the area hype about the game even before we were set up.

We set up the inside of the bus with FVSU vs. CAU in both the drumline challenge and the football game.



On the outside we had 2 tents, 2 TVs and our stereo system set up on the TV with the drumline challenge.

It was non stop on the bus and on the outside of our footprint.

We packed up the bus close to halftime. We entered the stadium, threw some t-shirts in the crowd, and gave away a $100 bill to the lucky 300th person to text "BCFXGAME" to 41-411.

Overall it was a great day and everyone had fun. The next stop on the 2009 BCFx Road Tour is the Alabama State vs. Concordia game on 9/5 in Motgomery, AL and then the next day, 9/6 in Birmingham, AL, for the 3rd Annual Labor Day Golden Classic (Miles vs. TU @ Legion Field). We look forward to seeing everyone in Alabama.
