* Half of the rock is repainted. The Corso face is gone and has been replaced by Smokey with a dead gator hanging from his mouth.
* Circle Park is COVERED UP with people doing prep work, the stage, canopies, etc. It's looking like a zoo.
* There is an electricity in the air and among the students milling about that I haven't felt in a very long time.
* I was picked up by a student worker in the UT motor pool and talked to her about the game and such as we drove across campus; I got the feeling she was about ready to jump out of her seat and go tackle somebody. Everyone here is just that jacked up.
I will be out and about doing work things for the next few hours, but plan to go by The Rock and Circle Park on my way back. I will post pics.
