MOBILE, Ala. - The App State football team traded the cool and windy air of the High Country for warm and muggy in south Alabama on Tuesday as the Mountaineers began their week of festivities that will culminate with Saturday's Dollar General Bowl.
After arriving via charter jet in the early afternoon, the team settled into the Renaissance Riverview Plaza before the evening welcome party officially kicked off bowl week. Players, coaches and staff of both App State and Toledo enjoyed a classic Gulf Coast meal of shrimp and grits, catfish, turkey, green beans and mac & cheese while being welcomed by the people of Mobile.
