Right: Fans from throughout the state came to the president's tailgate party preceding the first home football game at Bloomington Sept. 14 at Memorial Stadium.

Other Southeast fans were (from left, seated) Brian Hill, chemistry; Mary Anne Baker, psychology; and Tom Wolf, political science, with his wife Ellie.
