   TRIBUTE TO THE COLORADO STATE FOOTBALL TEAM AND COACH SONNY LUBICK

 Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I would like to recognize the 
Colorado State football team and Coach Sonny Lubick.
  Last year, Coach Lubick and the CSU Rams finished their season with a 
10-and-2 record, the most wins in school history. The team also claimed 
the school's first Western Athletic Conference championship and its 
first trip to the Holiday Bowl. Coach Lubick was named the Western 
Athletic Conference's coach of the year and Sports Illustrated's 
national coach of the year.
  His players have distinguished themselves as well. Ten players over 
the last 2 years have earned first-team all-WAC honors. Demonstrating 
excellence in the classroom as well as on the field, six were named to 
the WAC's all-academic team.
  For the first time since 1978, a Ram--Safety Greg Myers--was named 
first-team All-American. Greg goes into the season ranked by The 
Sporting News as one of the top five safeties in the Nation.
  Their success has not gone unnoticed. CSU reports a school-record 
8,000 season tickets sold this year. While that success will bring new 
challenges, I am confident Coach Lubick and his team will continue to 
reach new heights.
  As the USA Today wrote: ``In '94, the Rams found a way to win tough 
ones.'' That spirit, more than anything, defines the Colorado 
spirit.
