We are staying at the team hotel which is the Hilton Birmingham Perimeter Park . I think One Trick Pony and Proud Mama are also staying there. Go Mustangs!

I'll be there too. I think I got it for like 119 a night. Was going to be at the Doubletree, but I believe the team is at this one. I know of at least three other ponyfans staying here too.

Not sure there will be time but we got this e-mail this morning:

Here is some info regarding the UAB game, for fans that want a gathering place. The pub is owned by a SMU alum. Also, be sure to join us for a pre and post game gathering at the official tailgating headquarters for all Mustangs at the InnisFree Pub of Birmingham. The InnisFree is located at 710 29th Street South Birmingham, AL 35233 (205) 252-4255. Located 3 miles from Legion Field

Innisfree Pub is located in the Birmingham Historic Lakeview Entertainment district. Open Monday through Saturday and offers a wide variety of entertainment and specials throughout the week. Large out door patio with that is heated in the winter and cooled in the summer.

I'm going to be pan handling out in front for a ride to the game!

You would think I would just rent a car, however I'm attempting to lower our carbon footprint!


RVG let's jack some cookies from that other hotel.

If it's a sunny day, I probably will be sitting in the shade of the press box. By the shadows in this picture, it looks like it's early afternoon, our kickoff is at 3:00pm.

It's fine, going to be in the 80s we sit on the SMU side. You sit over there, your going to be a UAB fan. Along with the other 7,500. SMU SMU SMU!

Great, I won't even break a sweat! Here is a shot of Legion Field during a UAB scrimmage, they took the upper decks down years ago.

if we manage to sell out Ford next Saturday, would we then be able to come back to this pic and say, "actually I think that's a crowd shot from UAB's homecoming last year"?
