True Blue T-shirts free at upcoming basketball games
4:19 p.m., Jan. 9, 2007--UD is planning several special promotions to highlight three upcoming men's and women's basketball games at the Bob Carpenter Center that will be televised live to a regional audience over the next month. The University of Delaware women will host Colonial Athletic Association rival Towson University at noon, Sunday, Jan. 14, in a game to be televised by Comcast SportsNet TV, and CN8 television will air Blue Hen men's basketball home games against Drexel University at noon, Saturday, Jan. 20, and against James Madison University at noon, Saturday, Feb. 3. Royal blue Delaware T-shirts, sponsored by CSX Transportation, will be distributed free to fans at both the Jan. 14 and Jan. 20 games on a first-come, first-served basis. A total of 1,000 shirts will be given out on Jan. 14 and 3,000 shirts will be distributed at the Jan. 20 contest. UD students will receive special Cockpit T-shirts at both games, and 50 students will receive a yellow spirit wig at each game. “We want the Bob Carpenter Center to look like a sea of royal blue,” Curt Krouse, athletics marketing director, said. “We have been encouraging fans to wear royal blue to all Blue Hen athletics events this year, and this is a great opportunity to show a live regional television audience the kind of spirit and excitement we have here at Delaware.” The Feb. 3 men's game against James Madison has been designated as Boy Scout Day, and all fans are invited to bring a nonperishable food item to the game and wear their royal blue shirts. The food items will benefit Scouting for Food 2007. Tickets to all three games can be purchased at the door the day of the game or in advance at the Bob Carpenter Center and Trabant Student Center box offices or by contacting TicketMaster at 302-984-2000 (www.ticketmaster.com).
