NSU graduate, former athletic ticket manager and former student and graduate assistant sports information staffer Jerry Rushing is coming to Saturday's game.
He's coming from Carville, La., by way of North Carolina.
Jerry is a National Guardsman. Since Hurricane Gustav approached, his unit in North Carolina has been stationed in south Louisiana. They've recently been assisting with cleanup and repair work in and around Carville, but have just about wrapped up operations.
Jerry's guard duties have carried him lots of places, including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he was stationed for a year. He relocated a couple of years ago to North Carolina, and it will come as absolutely no surprise to anybody who knows him to hear that he lives next to a golf course.
He and wife Carla and her sister will be coming to Saturday's game, looking for their old friends.
Nobody makes them any easier than he does.
