Rams Open Bowl Preparations Colorado State is 10-3 on the season and in both major top 25 polls.
Dec. 16, 2002 FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Preparing for a football bowl game has become a December tradition at Colorado State. The Rams, who won the Mountain West Conference title and have a 10-3 record, opened preparations Saturday for the team's Dec. 31 AXA Liberty Bowl game against TCU Saturday with a two-hour workout. "For practicing after 14 days off, we got after it very well," said Lubick of his team's practice. "We practiced hard and had a lot of contact. The players responded well." Lubick said he and his staff will put the team through a similar two-hour practice Sunday at 1 p.m., then take Monday and Tuesday off as all students on the university campus begin final fall examinations. The Rams will return to the practice field midweek. Lubick also said there is no other news regarding the team's starting quarterback Bradlee Van Pelt, who was detained by local law enforcement authorities early Friday morning. "There is no news until I find out all the facts," he said. Tenth-year coach Sonny Lubick has guided the Rams to a school-record four consecutive bowl games and seven postseason games overall during his tenure. The Rams, who are ranked in both major top 25 polls, face the 9-3 Horned Frogs, who won a share of the Conference USA title, at 1:30 p.m. MT/2:30 CT on New Year's Eve in Memphis, Tenn. It's the third time in the four-year history of the MWC that the Rams will wear the league crown into the contest.
Saturday, Lubick had his team on the field for th first time in two
weeks, since the team's final regular-season game.
