Wednesday afternoon?s showers couldn?t keep Titan boosters from lining up at Three Star Mall to meet and greet two members of the team, as part of Titans Caravan IX.

Defensive tackle Rien Long, as well as Defensive end Bo Schobel, made the trip to McMinnville for Wednesday?s tour visit, which was one of 65 planned stops over a 13-day span.

The duo signed autographs and posed for photos with fans, who filled the sidewalk in front of the local Kroger store when rain forced an impromptu venue change.

The Caravan was presented with the cooperation of Kroger ? one of the team?s corporate sponsors ? as well as local radio station Hot Country 104, a Titans Radio broadcast partner since the team?s final season in Houston.

In addition to meeting Long and Schobel, fans attending Wednesday?s Caravan were also entertained by the Warren County High School Pioneerette dance team, members of which performed while sporting the Titans? team colors. Team mascot ?T-Rac? was also on hand to meet fans and sign autographs.

This year?s Caravan began April 19 at Ft. Campbell, and features several public stops such as the Wednesday Kroger visit. It is scheduled to wrap up in Cookeville today, with a 5 p.m. public stop at the Jewelry Emporium.
