SMU's Boulevard of Resurgent Dreams

Adam Tauzal has hosted a tailgate at the same spot on SMU’s Boulevard for over a decade. On the day of the ACC opener against Florida State, he added a second beer keg to his tent. It’s the second time he’s ever done so, the other being the Texas A&M game in 2014.

There’s a glimpse of this moment’s magnitude for a fan base who’s spent over 40 years waiting for a return to major college football.
