By Michael Tomberlin

The teams competing in the Jared Birmingham Bowl will take in much of what the Magic City has to offer in between time spent preparing for the game Saturday.

The Wake Forest University and University of Memphis football teams arrived in Birmingham Tuesday and were welcomed by everyone from Mayor Randall Woodfin to ESPN college football analyst Todd Blackledge.

Both were among those at the Birmingham Monday Morning Quarterback Club, which hosted the welcome dinner at the Sheraton Birmingham Ballroom Tuesday night.

“We’re honored to welcome each of you but more important, we are excited as you are here to soak up all of the action for this year’s Birmingham Bowl,” Woodfin said. “The truth is, I love football but there is a bigger truth: Birmingham loves football. We believe you are in the right place.”
