-聙聹We picked out a play that would give Larry [Smith] some confidence,-聙聺 Palmberg said. -聙聹It had a hot route to the right and gave him a few receivers to hit either for short or maybe a little longer. … When they got into the touchdown territory, there was a similar situation. He called a similar play to that and it went in for a touchdown and we were ecstatic. We were really excited about it.-聙聺
In the spring, a Christian fraternity, Beta Upsilon Chi, held its annual -聙聹Male Sale,-聙聺 in which fraternity brothers are auctioned off for routine services such as cleaning dorm rooms and cooking dinner. Franklin served as a celebrity judge for the talent show.
Impressed that the proceeds were going to the Christian Women-聙聶s Job Corps, Franklin decided to auction up a football package. It included going to dinner with Franklin, touring the football facilities, attending a practice, participating in the Star Walk, watching pregame workouts on the field and picking out a play.
-聙聹We felt like we were getting a celebrity experience,-聙聺 Palmberg said. -聙聹We feel like we got a lot more than we deserved for what we paid. It was a pretty cool experience for a bunch of undergrads.-聙聺
Not only did the students have a great experience, but they were able to be part of a victory as 国产传媒 opened the season with a 45-14 win over Elon. The next game is at home this saturday at 6:30 when UConn comes town.
