All Signs Point to GAME WEEK

You can just feel it in the air, it is GAME WEEK!!!!! Training camp went smooth and quick, and now we have finally reached the week we have been waiting for, game week. Not only can you feel it in the air, but signs all around McKale point to something special about to begin. Students are constantly lined up picking up their Zona Zoo t-shirts, people are in line getting tickets to the game, you can hear the band practicing over on Beardown Field. It seems to be everywhere.

Last week Tim, Benny and myself assigned Trunks to managers that must be packed for each game. The managers were coming in all day working on those trunks. Helmet and Shoulder Pad maintenance is in full swing. You can just tell!!!

We got all the credentials from Event Management and Erick Harper, so that is done. One of the important things is waiting on Coach Stoops and the players to decide what color pant and jersey we are wearing Saturday.
