WHEN ALCORN STATE quarterback Steve McNair and his teammates would walk from their dorms to Jack Spinks Stadium for home games, they'd always hear students and fans tailgating. They'd smell barbecue. On that walk, fans would clamor to get close to their heroes in purple and gold. McNair and his teammates would take time to snap quick pictures or sign autographs for their supporters.
