So excited. I did get back to Memphis in 1982 for a wedding but did not go on campus. In 1969 we had 88 acres. We even had "Vets Village"....so, will I be surprised?

I lived at 728 Watson Street, boarded in a home there. Right near Audobon Park. Is the park still there? Does the campus extend to Watson?

Will I be surprised and recognize anything? First stop is bookstore Friday to get Tiger gear, T shirts, Sweat shirts, etc.

Can't wait for the game. Hopefully weather will be nice!

See you guys there. Can't wait to show my son the campus, he has never seen it!

Go Tigers!

The campus South of the railroad tracks will be a surprise. The tracks themselves should be familiar.

I graduated in 2013 and visited the campus in 2017. A whole lot has changed in that short time. This will be like an episode of Futurama for you.

The park is still there. You'll be shocked at the campus. Huge differences since I graduated in 1983. Make sure you check out the south campus at Park and Getwell too. I believe you will find it impressive also. Safe travels!!

Be careful not like it was in 69

You were there in '69? Highland was basically hippie central for Memphis back in those days. Oh the times they are a changing.

A bunch of money has been pumped into the university since 1969. I graduated in 1968 and it does not even look like the same school except for recognizing some of the older buildings that are still there. I also think most of all the old fraternity houses are gone and most all have been moved to new locations.

Make sure you go into Brister Hall (old library) which is connected to Wilder Tower. Last time I was there the foyer was like a time capsule.
