South Alabama football fans heard the news they have been waiting for since the Jaguars' program started in 2009: there will be an on-campus stadium.
The June 1 announcement has sparked a new-found interest in the South Alabama program.
No one is as excited as former South Alabama coach and current Mississippi State special teams coordinator Joey Jones.
Jones, 55, who resigned in December after nine seasons as Jaguars head coach, joined me and Lee Shirvanian on Friday on "The Opening Kickoff" on WNSP-FM 105.5.
"They've been trying and working to get that stadium for years," Jones said.
