Episode Notes

It’s Homecoming Week at Valparaiso University!

The Victory Bell: The Podcast is celebrating by taking a look back in time to one of the greatest athletic years in Valparaiso history. The football and volleyball teams will be celebrating a pair of 20-year anniversaries this weekend. Couple the Pioneer Football League title and a NCAA tournament appearance for the volleyball team with a pair of trips to the Big Dance for the men’s and women’s basketball teams and one can argue that 2003-04 was the greatest year in Valpo history.

Aaron Leavitt, Valparaiso’s longtime assistant athletic director for Media Relations, joins the pod to discuss the 2003-04 seasons and what it was like to be on campus on Nov. 22, 2003, the day when football won the PFL title game and volleyball won the Mid-Continent Conference tournament.

Host: Paul Oren

Guests: Aaron Leavitt
