Fort Collins, Colo. ? Dale Layer and Chris Denker won?t waste even a minute of practice time when preseason drills open for the 2003-04 basketball season at Colorado State University.
Both head coaches will have their teams involved in Moby Madness Friday night, Oct. 17, presented by Sports Illustrated On Campus. The event is part of a marketing campaign announced by athletics department officials last week to increase exposure and season ticket sales for Colorado State?s men?s and women?s teams.
Layer, the Rams? 4th-year men?s coach, and Denker, his women?s coaching counterpart, will have their teams involved in an evening full of activities as the Rams begin practice for the upcoming season.
In cooperation with ASCSU, the Ram Leadership Program, and SI On Campus, Colorado State is trying to attract as many fans as possible ? particularly university students ? to the event.
Doors to Moby Arena will open at 10 a.m., and the 1st 500 students to enter Moby Arena will receive a free ?Forever Green? tee shirt. Free soft drinks and popcorn will be provided to fans attending Midnight Madness.
The activities will include shooting and slam dunk contests for students, introduction of the Rams? men?s and women?s basketball teams, previews by the head coaches, several other team activities.
Both the men?s and women?s team will also hold a brief workout to celebrate the official opening of the 2003-04 preseason practice schedule. Both teams return to the floor later Saturday for additional practice sessions.
