DALLAS – As more Tiger fans descended into the Dallas area, pre-game activities ramped up Thursday in preparation for the 84th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Saturday morning.
Â
For an hour on Thursday morning, the Tigers went through practice number four at AT&T Stadium. After practice, head coach Ryan Silverfield and select members of the Memphis roster participated in the Cotton Bowl's Media Day at the stadium.
Â
The players were divided into offense and defense with the offensive media availability occurring in the Dallas Cowboys locker room. At the end of the availability, members of the defense joined the offense for a brief tour of the locker room.
Â
Â
The afternoon at the hotel consisted of down time for the players while fans continued to pour into the halls of the Gaylord Texan Hotel in support.
Â
Thursday evening brought the Bowl Preview Radio Show at Chill Bar and Grill in Grapevine, Texas where Silverfield joined Memphis play-by-play announcer Dave Woloshin in front of hundreds of fans for an hour-long radio show.
Â
While Silverfield was participating in the radio show, members of the team had the opportunity to go to the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs basketball game.
Â
The Tigers continue preparations Friday morning and Silverfield participates in the Head Coaches News Conference at the Omni Hotel in Dallas. At 11:30 a.m., Silverfield will attend the Goodyear Big Play Luncheon at the Hilton Anatole Ballroom.
