After Big Terry exited the Bus that he was on from southern California all the way to Colorado he quickly found himself in the management. With the guidance of the new management in Colorado, Terry was able to find a place and was told to meet at the arena early in the next morning. Unknowingly, Terry showed up in jeans. This got a chuckle from all of his veteran teammates who knew exactly what was going on. After a short bus ride, and with some new borrowed work out sorts, Big Terry and the Colorado Raptors arrived in the rocky mountains. Immidiately atfer departing the bus, several of the experienced veterans bolted up the hill. Confused Terry hesitantly joined in. By the end of running up and down the mountains several times, Terry felt like a new human being and has never felt so in shape in his life. He is noted saying, " I didn't know how serious being in shape is in this league, and this is a rough awakening but I know it bonded our team better."
