The Aztecs practiced for the final time in pads in the morning at Burleson Centennial High School. After a delivered lunch of Whataburger, the team was able to enjoy time in the players' game room and hospitality suite at their hotel in the afternoon.
SDSU then attended "Four Day Weekend," an improvisational show and the longest-running show in the southwest. The cast of "Four Day Weekend" has been called Fort Worth's greatest ambassadors, have been awarded the Key to the City, have performed for two U.S. presidents and even have delivered a keynote address to the U.S. Congress. Members of the team and coaching staff also went onstage to perform with the group.
Following the improv show, San Diego State team and staff ate dinner at Reata, a ranch-themed upscale hot has spot that features Southwestern fare and rooftop views of Fort Worth.
The Aztecs will practice once again on Thursday morning, and later in the afternoon members will visit a children's hospital and will install smoke alarms at nearby military/veteran affiliated neighborhoods.
San Diego State (10-2) and Army West Point (9-3) play at 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday.
