The University of Memphis football season will kick off with its first pep rally today in the University Center atrium. It will start at 12:45 p.m. Coaches and players will be in attendance along with the cheerleaders, pep band, Pouncer and the pom squad.
Students will be able to meet players, coaches and staff.
"The goal of the pep rally is to generate excitement for students," Russell Born, SGA president, said. "It is the start of something special."
Born wants more marketing on campus for football games and other sporting events. "Tiger nation is bigger than you or me," Born said. "It's a feeling that gets inside you."
