Charger Tailgaters: Lot 37 is the spot on Friday night

Charger Dad Nick DeMiro is helping to head up the Parents' group this season and wants all Hillsdale fans to know they are welcome in Lot 37 for tailgating festivities. Lot 37 is located behind the pressbox and the home side of Top Taggart Field.

In the past Charger fans have brought their own tailgating fare and the Parents group has provided a grill. Festivities usually start 3 to 4 hours before game time.

Hillsdale fans are traditionally some of the best traveling and friendliest fans in the GLIAC.

Just look for all of the blue Charger flags.

Hillsdale's Weatherhead and Holmes see end to training camp dreams.

Former Hillsdale quarterback Troy Weatherhead who was in camp with Cleveland and wide receiver Andre Holmes who was hoping to make the Vikings' roster saw their NFL dreams derailed today when they were let go in the NFL's first wave of cuts.

Both are two of the most decorated Hillsdale players ever at their respective positions. Each must wait to see if any other teams have interest in either of them as free agents. Best of luck to both players and congratulations on all of their past accomplishments.

Viking injuries should open up reps for Hillsdale's Holmes

When the Minnesota Vikings take on the Seattle Seahawks tonight up in the town that gave us Pearl Jam, rookie undrafted free agent wide receiver Andre Holmes should get an opportunity to see some live action.

The Hillsdale College star is currently fighting for one of the last roster spots, a spot as the team's 4th or 5th receivers.

Right now it looks like Percy Harvin, Bernard Berrien, and Michael Jenkins are solid as the first three. Greg Camarillo who is looking for one of those two open spots will sit tonight along with Harvin as they nurse nagging camp injuries. This means that Holmes, Aymar Johnson, Emmanuel Arceneaux, Juaquin Iglesias, Dominique Johnson, Devin Aromashodu, and Stephen Burton will all have a chance to pick up more reps against the Seahawks.

Fox Sports North reported during the week that Holmes had one of the big catches of camp with a leaping touchdown reception over the top of a defender, of course Hillsdale football fans saw that most every week.

Charger Scrimmage set for Sunday Night.

The Hillsdale College Chargers will be in football action under the lights for real on Friday September 1, at Ferris State. They will also be under the lights this Sunday night at 8:15 scrimmaging. The glorified practice will consist of approximately 60 plays and open to the public.
