Earlier this summer, the Berry-Bowden Roadshow, featuring first-year University of Louisiana Monroe President Dr. Ron Berry and first-year head football coach Terry Bowden, made tour stops in Dallas, Shreveport, Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

The Pursuit, sponsored by BancorpSouth, is the university's premier kickoff event for the upcoming 2021 football season.

Program highlights include comments from Berry, Athletics Director Scott McDonald and Bowden.

"The primary purpose of The Roadshow was to reconnect with our alumni after a year a separation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and share our vision for the future," Dr. Berry said. "It's only fitting to hold the Grand Finale of the tour here on campus and combine it with The Pursuit. It promises to be a special night.

"Under Coach Bowden's leadership, the interest in our football program has skyrocketed, and it will be the grass-roots support that helps create a true, home-field advantage in Malone Stadium this fall."

The Pursuit is named in honor of the Curtiss P-40 "Warhawk" fighter planes, flown by Gen. Claire Lee Chennault's Flying Tigers during World War II. The ÍøÆØÃÅ Warhawk mascot takes its name from the planes, which featured the iconic noses painted with an open shark's mouth with jagged teeth.
