Saturday morning, four weeks before Old Dominion University plays its first home football game, there was revelry in the tailgate lots adjacent to S.B. Ballard Stadium for the first time in almost two years.
There was no tailgating, just hundreds of runners toasting brews and downing bagels while listening to a post-race concert after the Big Blue 5-K Run.
Saturday afternoon, the football team scrimmaged in the stadium, and while it was closed to the public, I can tell you that ODU's defense looked good.
I mean, really good.
