Hello Pirates. Just wanted to update you all with a quick note - we have begun the process of uploading old webcasts to our YouTube channel, which can be found at YouTube.com/TheArmstrongPirates.

Looking through our archives, it looks like we have files dating back to 2008. These will slowly be added to the youtube channel over the next few weeks, then eventually organized by sport.

You can subscribe and get notified when games are uploaded. Webcasts that will be available include women's soccer, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball and softball.

Hello Pirates! This is Chad Jackson, the SID from 1999-2017 at Armstrong. Since the opening of the Hall of Champions in February of 2022, I've been working to populate the touchscreen monitors with photographs and bio info on all of our student-athletes covering the 50 years of Pirate athletics.

Today, I was able to finish all of the years where I was at Armstrong, so every person on a roster from 1999-2017 now has a photo and bio info.

The next step for me is a big one as I try to now fill in the rest of the years. One of the things I've done is use the old Geechee yearbooks to populate images, unfortunately the school stopped printing Geechees in 1995. So what I am now asking is if you know of any former Pirates from 1995-98 who would have any pictures from that era to please get in touch with me so I can try and add as many as possible. My email is tjackson at georgiasouthern.edu.

If you haven't had a chance to visit the HoC, please do so! It's in the front hallway of the Armstrong Sports Center/Alumni Arena. And for reference, attached to this post is what one of the bio pages looks like. Thank you all and !
