In addition to watching Kansas baseball and softball play Texas Tech on Saturday, Jayhawk fans can also take part in other festivities.
The Athletics Department's marketing department is planning a tailgate party at noon before the 2 p.m. games. Activities include a live band, free food for the first 75 to 100 fans and sports-related games. Some events, like the water-balloon shot-put, are designed to help promote the Kansas Relays, which start next week.

"This is a fun time for people to come out at noon before game time," said softball coach Tracy Bunge.
The softball team will also honor the 1992 College World Series team. The team is in the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame but has never had an official ceremony, therefore the squad will be officially inducted at 1:45 tomorrow before the Texas Tech game. Al Bohl, athletics director, will attend the recognition.

There will also be an alumni softball game at 9:30 a.m. Sixteen of the 18 members of the 1992 team will be back, including coach Kalum Haack and the three All-Americans, Camille
Spitaleri, Christy Arterburn and Stephani Williams. Six to 12 alumni from other years are expected to play as well.
During the second game of the three-game series with Texas Tech, baseball will have its first "Baseball Bingo" day of the season tomorrow. Fans will get a bingo card at the gate and will be able to fill them out depending on how the Jayhawk offense performs.

Jones said, "and how good we can be."
