Monday, December 15, 1997
Note to Editors: Media are invited to attend the Colorado
State Holiday Bowl Pep Rally 4 p.m. Friday (Dec. 19) at the
Moby Arena South Concourse. Ram fans will line up from the
practice field to cheer the Rams football team as it
finishes its last at-home practice.
FORT COLLINS--Colorado State faculty, staff, students and
Ram fans are encouraged to display their Ram pride by wearing
green and gold gear during Green and Gold Week, Dec. 15-19.
The week will culminate in a Holiday Bowl Pep Rally 4 p.m.
Friday at the Moby Arena South Concourse. Ram fans are invited to
cheer on Coach Sonny Lubick and the Rams football team as it
finishes its last practice on home turf. The event will feature
free food, music and giveaways.
Wearing green and gold attire is just one way to support the
Rams football team before it takes on the Missouri Tigers of the
Big 12 conference at the Plymouth Holiday Bowl in San Diego on
Dec. 29.
To generate Holiday Bowl spirit on campus, the university
has organized a Green and Gold Ticket Sales Contest among
departments. The contest gives faculty and staff a chance to help
the Rams fill the Holiday Bowl ticket requirement and win prizes
for their efforts.
The department that sells the most tickets (with a minimum
of 20 tickets) will win a grand prize of 50 ski lift tickets to
Steamboat Springs. Departments must self-report how many tickets
they have purchased (for themselves or the Kids First program) by
Thursday, Dec. 18. Ticket receipts may be necessary in the event
of a tie.
Departments with the most creative use of green and gold
also have a chance to win 20 free lift tickets to Steamboat
Springs through the Green and Gold Door Decorating Contest. All
departments are encouraged to decorate their doors to demonstrate
the theme "Go Bowling with the Rams!" Special "celebrity" judges
will visit decorated departmental doors Friday morning and select
the winner based on the most creative use of green and gold.
Off-campus offices interested in joining the fun may submit
a photo of their green and gold door to the judges via the
University Relations office. Departments or other Ram fans
interested in participating in either contest may contact
Michelle Rovang or June Greist in University Relations, (970)
491-6432.
