Sadly, this year’s Cortaca Jug football game between SUNY Cortland and Ithaca College has been cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, Red Dragons will have an opportunity to get together and celebrate the spirit of the game virtually at noon on Saturday, Nov. 14.

Former players, coaches and friends are gathering online for interviews, commentary and to watch highlights from some of the most memorable moments from the Cortaca Jug’s 60-year history.

To register and learn more, visit RedDragonNetwork.org.

Alumni and friends are encouraged to also join in the fun through social media. Cortland stickers and a photo contest will be held, with prizes including a future overnight stay at the Lynne Parks ’68 SUNY Cortland Alumni House. Contest details are available online.
