The Nichols College Department of Athletics will hold the annual Bison Madness Thursday night at 8 p.m. in the Athletics Center. The kickoff extravaganza will feature introductions of the 2008-09 men's and women's basketball teams as well as the men's and women's hockey teams, and tons of prizes for those in attendance.

Come early to get your face painted and to pick up your paper airplane in the lobby. Show your Bison PRIDE in the Best School Spirit contest! Both an individual and a group will be chosen as winners.

Win more prizes in the Paper Toss – throw your airplane closest to the center to win a gift card! Or maybe you'll be chosen for Three Blind Mice – Grab as much prize as you can before the other two “mice”… blindfolded! Is it your lucky night for a Shot in the Dark – One Person, One Shot, One Chance?

The annual Three-Point Shoot-Out is back… see if reigning champion and men's basketball captain Jeff Lindgren can hold on to his title!

Let the Madness begin! Thursday at 8 p.m.
