    Thanks CH! That first few minutes to start the second half was a thing of beauty. Couldn’t have happened at all better time.

    I took a shower at half, as I was brushing my teeth, I heard the game had started for the second half. I finished quickly, walk into the living room, I looked at the score and time, about 2 minutes, thirty seconds, we were ahead by fourteen, we got another score. Thinking we were in a battle that would go down to the wire on the road, not good. But this burst coming out after half, stunned me.
    It made viewing the second half a little easier for my wife. LOL

    I remember way back in the day, Gainesville Sun's Jack Hairston, I believe, said that visiting Starkville was the absolute pits for any sports reporter. Such a dead, nothing town.

    Jack was right on point. If college graduates are looking for jobs/opportunity, a lot of them have come to Nashville. Plenty of jobs and things to do!

    Ha, ever been to Birmingham? I spent a week there for work in the mid-90's, what a dreary city.
