******ATTENTION******(ap wire) JANUARY 23, 2009 – The UBS Rough Riders held a press conference earlier this morning to announce that Friday January 30 will be “Biology Teacher’s Day” at Rough Rider Stadium. At the request of the club owner and president Mr. O.J. Sharkey, the season ticket holders have unanimously agreed to forgo their season tickets in honor of this special occasion. Tickets will be sold to only those persons who are able to produce verifiable Biology Teachers certifications.
During the press conference Mr. Sharkey stated, “We felt like it was a great way to give back to the community”. He went on to say “On January 30, the undefeated USB Rough Riders will be hosting a game with their arch nemesis the Blitzburg Musclefrogs also 11-0. The board of directors and I felt that filling the stadium with biology teachers could have a lasting effect on the “Frogs” thus taking them out of their game.”
In addition to tickets only being sold to biology teachers, scalpels, dissection trays and surgical masks will be given out at every gate leading into the stadium. Horncolio Industries, the leading manufacturer of dissection equipment, donated these free items.
While the Blitzburg Musclefrogs are in town the staff of the UBS Rough Riders, as always, will be putting them up in one of the town’s quality establishments.
