2008 UNO PRIVATEER FOOTBALL TEAM
PRIVATEERS SCORE FIRST BUT LOSE 25-6 AT XAVIER.
PRIVATEERS DROP HOME OPENER 30-14 TO SIUE IN FRONT OF 3,707 FANS. GAME STORY WITH PICS WILL FOLLOW IN A FEW DAYS. THOUGH THE TEAM LOST, UNO PRIVATEER FOOTBALL WAS A BIG WINNER TONIGHT. THANK YOU PRIVATEERS!
Welcome to the Privateer Football website. This site was created in November 1998 to provide a documented history of the University of New Orleans Privateer club football teams of the 1960s and, more importantly, to advocate for the implementation of NCAA Division I football at the University of New Orleans.
The return of club football to UNO in 2008 has given us a renewed mission to be the best source of timely and accurate information on the current Privateer Football Team.
Official information about the team can be obtained by calling Jared Junot in the UNO Admissions Office at 504-280-6234 or e-mailing him at ajunot@uno.edu.
The return of club football to UNO is a significant development for those of us who yearn for a full varsity, intercollegiate football team at our alma mater. Many other schools now playing NCAA football began their programs as club teams. Similar commuter schools such as Georgia State and South Alabama recently made the decision to add NCAA football. Those decisions followed several successful seasons of club football at both schools. In that regard, we have a tremendous opportunity presented to us. We can support this club team to demonstrate the potential football has at UNO. Sustained support and more crowds similar to the 3,707 that witnessed the inaugural game against SIUE on November 8, 2008, will prove that the UNO community wants, deserves and will support football at UNO.
