Eighty-nine-year-old Tom Ables first attended San Diego State in 1946, right out of the Navy in World War II.

Since then, he has seen 758 Aztec football games, including this past Saturday's home opener against the University of San Diego.

He has traveled with the team to other states and to foreign countries. And he hasn't missed a game since 1964.

His memories are collected in his book, "Go, Aztecs!: A fan looks back at the first 757 games he saw."

Ables talks about his seventy season long love of the Aztecs, and why he's especially looking forward to this year, Monday on Midday Edition.
