Ron Dayne
Meet 1999 Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne and Sports Illustrated senior writer Dan Patrick in person on Saturday, November 14th before the Wisconsin-Michigan football game at Camp Randall.
Dayne will sign autographs from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and a “SI Chalk Talk” with Dayne and Patrick will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on the practice field just north of the student section of Camp Randall Stadium, on the east side of Breese Terrace.
Dayne’s appearance is part of the “Sports Illustrated Heisman Tour Presented by Nissan,” which is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Heisman Trophy and the great history of college football.
According to a Sports Illustrated press release:
During the 2009 season, the tour will make 10 stops at some of the most anticipated match-ups of the year, showcasing college football’s most famous award, a rich collection of SI’s history covering the quintessential American sport, and Nissan’s dynamic line-up of cars and trucks.”
For no charge, fans at each tour stop will have the opportunity to meet former Heisman winners and college football legends as well as pose for a SI cover shot with the Trophy itself. The highly interactive 100 x 100 foot experience also features one-on-one trivia challenges, SI.com kiosks and a look back at past Heisman recipients through SI’s renowned photography and story-telling. As the campaign’s presenting sponsor, Nissan will showcase the 290-horsepower 2010 Maxima premium performance sedan, the original “4-door sports car.”
This event is free and open to the public. You do not need to have a ticket to the football game to participate. The “Sports Illustrated Heisman Tour Presented by Nissan” will open at 8 a.m. and run until kickoff time (noon).
