Game Day is Here

Well, you can feel the excitement. All of us are extremely excited about the game against the Huskers tonight, but it is starting to sink in too that we have to pack up the hotel room tonight after the game so we can go back to Tucson tomorrow.

As I have stated all week, this Holiday Bowl has been extraordinary! Everything has been perfect and fun. I know the coaches, players and managers have all told me that this week has been a blast.

The managers have worked very hard, and they have done a great job! Yesterday morning they loaded up everything at USD and then after the luncheon, we moved in to the locker rooms at Qualcomm.

We will leave the hotel this morning at 11:30 for the stadium. All of us are very excited about the day!

Enjoy some pictures from yesterday's events:
