Many students took the opportunity to take big swings at the Badger Mobile. Clubs sold food and snacks during the tailgate party as fundraisers.
Warrior Football hosted the Tucson Badgers. It was a close game won by the Badgers 19-12. Fans on both sides of the field supported their teams efforts. A new section on the home side grandstand was reserved for the Blue Man Crew, Pueblo’s most spirited Warriors!
