The Argonauts at the University of West Florida (UWF) in Pensacola will soon be getting their own football team. Added a couple pictures from around the net to spice up this post…
"UWF will hire a head football coach in Spring 2014, who will start recruiting the first football student-athletes that fall. The inaugural recruiting class will be enrolled in Fall 2015 and begin practices and scrimmages in preparation for the inaugural season in Fall 2016.
…
UWF reached an agreement with officials with the Community Maritime Park to play at Blue Wahoo Stadium.
The Blue Wahoos, the Double A affiliate with Major League Baseball’s Cincinnati Reds, are currently the only sports team utilizing the 5,100-seat stadium, located right on Pensacola Bay.
…
The school’s long-term goal is to play on-campus"
The team will (at least initially) compete in the Gulf South Conference (Div.II), the same conference as Florida Tech, giving them a potential "Florida pride" rivalry.
