Everybody was there to see Delwin in his navy blue Southern game jersey and all his new teammates Saturday at A.W. Mumford Stadium.
All of this love was set in motion at a Fan Day years ago, back when SU went across the Mississippi River to Plaquemine and the Jaguars were amid a dominant run through the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
