10:25 a.m., Dec. 17, 2002--Fightin' Blue Hens Today, a University of Delaware athletics annual, is now available for the holiday gift-giving season.
 Fans of UD athletics will find the colorful magazine to be a comprehensive guide to Blue Hen athletics, including stories about Blue Hen teams, coaches and players.
The Fightin' Blue Hens Today cover features a photograph of legendary football Head Coach Tubby Raymond handing the ball, literally and figuratively, to former UD player and new Head Coach K.C. Keeler. There are extensive and informative question and answer stories with both Raymond and Keeler, and a look at veteran Delaware Stadium public address announcer Elbert Chance, who retired following the last game of the season.
Stories look at "the Delaware Way" of athletic competition, the 50th anniversary of Delaware Stadium, the lasting impact of Title IX, veteran UD coaches, Head Athletic Trainer Keith Handling and Blue Hen softball player Mandy Welch, who received the prestigious John H. Randolph Inspiration Award from the Colonial Athletic Association. As well, there is a wrap-up of all UD athletics during the 2001-02 season.
Fightin' Blue Hens Today is priced at $15 per copy and can be purchased at the UD Bookstore in the Perkins Student Center, Borders Books & Music–Newark and at local Happy Harry's stores.
