TwitterFORT COLLINS, Colo. - Ever wonder what football coaches discuss on their headsets while roaming the sidelines?
Head Coach Steve Fairchild and his coaches answered questions to a crowd of 150 CSU female fans at CSU's first annual Football 101 for Women. The event took place April 8 inside the Rams' new athletic facilities.
"I'm married and I have two daughters," Fairchild said. "These awesome three ladies have been by my side almost as long as I've been involved with football, and I never take their support for granted. We enjoy football as a family and we thought this might be a good way to help other families enjoy it, too.
"It's America's most popular spectator sport, and we want to help it become for wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters more than noise on a TV screen, or just something their men do that takes them away. If our coaches and their wives can meet some nice ladies and help them better understand this great game, our hope is that those ladies will enjoy it more."
Carrabba's Italian Grill providided a delectable meal while High Country Beverage teamed up with E&J Gallo Winery and Pepsi to provide an array of beverages, with and without alcohol. In addition, Russell Athletic supplied a special-edition T-shirt as a souvenir for each participant.
All of the profits were donated to a worthy cause, the Athletic General Scholarship Fund, to provide tuition for deserving student-athletes and help the Rams recruit and field the nation's top talent.
