Yee Haw, Y’all! At the Tailgate Outpost, fans took advantage of some of the local photo opportunities.
Can you hear the music through the screen? The MRDs flooded the streets of the Fort Worth StockYards in the city’s historic district. Nothing gets JMU fans in the mood for a Pep Rally more than when the band plays “Start Wearing Purple.”
