Bronx, N.Y. - On the day after an exhilarating opening day win at the University of Rhode Island, one would expect that the Fordham University football squad would be sleeping in and savoring their victory. But that wasn't the case as a group of Rams were up and standing at the ready outside Queens Court shortly before noon to help the incoming freshmen unload their vehicles.

"The Residential Life Office helps us out in the summer when we come in for camp and this is our way of thanking them," said Fordham head coach Tom Masella.

The football Rams were in charge of hauling the heavy goods, including refrigerators, televisions and cases of water, up flights of stairs, drawing praise from some of the parents who thought they would have to do the heavy lifting themselves.

The Rams will open their 2007 home schedule this Saturday, September 8th, as they host the University at Albany on Jack Coffey Field at 6:00 p.m.
