Mark and Carol Rickman ran across the frozen turf at the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl for the first time with a brand new four-legged member of the Pack family. Roch a 1-year-old Siberian husky, malamute, boxer and Belgian Malinois mix scampered with purpose from the west sideline, stopping at the Colorado State University Pueblo logo at the 50-yard line.
He didn t mark his territory, but he seemed to know he was at home. He says, I like this, Carol Rickman said as the pup pulled her across the field like a receiver running a quick out route. All this for me?, her husband said, mimicking Roch as the pup stood tall staring at the south end zone.
