Lancer Football

Randy Beardy never imagined himself becoming a teacher.  

“I’m kind of a rebel at heart,” he laughs. “If you tell me to do something, I have a hard time doing it.”   

Rather than following in his mother's footsteps — also a University of Windsor BEd alum, Beardy (BA Psychology ’17, BEd ’24) says he wanted to become a football coach.

While having your dad teach at your high school may sound like a nightmare to some, for Brett Bjorgan, it was an inspiration. 

“My dad is a secondary physical education teacher, and my high school experience was great having him there as a mentor and making sure I was doing the right thing and staying in line,” he says. 

The University of Windsor Lancers are set to face off against the McMaster Marauders this Saturday, Sept. 13, at Alumni Stadium.

Kick-off is at 7 p.m., and students are invited to bring the energy and help create a true home-field advantage.

This week’s game is the Blue Collar Classic: Community Game, a celebration of Windsor-Essex pride and the people who make the region strong.

The University of Windsor Lancers will kick off a new varsity football season this Saturday, welcoming the Guelph Gryphons to Alumni Stadium.

Game time is set for 7 p.m. on Sept. 6.

More than just a match-up on the field, the evening is designed as a campus-wide celebration. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the Windsor community are invited to show their Lancer pride and contribute to the spirited atmosphere.

Pre-game festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. with the Not Your Traditional Tailgate Party in Bridge Lot A.
