A record crowd turned out this past weekend to see the MSU volleyball team's season opener and to witness the halftime "Coaches Challenge." Head football coach Dan Mullen, left, tries to justify his team's second place finish in the challenge as Jeffrey Rupp, the event's master of ceremonies, looks on. A pregame "Meet and Greet" with coaches and student athletes from football, women's basketball, baseball, softball, men's tennis and women's golf also was part of the festivities. The first 600 students attending received a free T-shirt. Most of the weekend's campus events were part of the "Tents for Tickets" promotion in which students camped overnight in the Junction to be the first in line as the ticket office opened on Saturday morning.
