As I type this, I am in the process of packing my stuff and loading up a U-haul to move back to Georgia. I just graduated from SMU, and despite my efforts have been unable to find suitable employment in the Metroplex. I will temporarily relocate back to Georgia, with the hopes of finding something worthwhile. The main two drawbacks are one, living with my parents, and two, not being close for many SMU games. However, I was happy to see that the UAB game is in Birmingham and will be close enough for me to make the drive. I was wondering how many other Mustang fans will be making the trip. It would be great to see a good showing from the Red and Blue faithful.
I have actually been able to talk a couple of friends into possibly going. One went to UGA and the other to Auburn, but they both are college football enthusiasts, and said they wanted to see SMU's version of "basketball on grass". I figure we'll drive up early that Saturday morning and claim a good tailgating spot. Just the thought of tailgating makes me anxious for football to get here.
