In the South, the calendar flips to August and creates an upswell in excitement for college athletics. Most of the focus is on college football as their fall camps get under way. They are not the first sport to start competition though, not even when a football team plays “Week 0” as Vanderbilt will. No, the first team competition of the fall is soccer.
The Commodores will have their first pre-season exhibition at home on August 8th against Alabama-Birmingham. They then travel to Tuscaloosa for a second and final tune up against conference foe Alabama on August 13th.
