Well-wishers are asked to gather by 10 a.m. at the parking lot, and business owners and community members are encouraged to stand outside and salute the team as they head to the airport.

More than a thousand people saluted the men on campus and in town yesterday morning as they headed to their first-round game Friday afternoon vs. Florida State.
