1 Day

We're down to the final day before kickoff. In 24 hours I'll be on Highway 25 heading to Starkvegas. It'll be cool to be back in Vegas again. I am anxious to see this Junction I keep hearing about and seeing pictures on The Blitz. I want to see all this construction on campus. Basically, I want to see all those things I've missed since my last trip to Oktibbeha County. It's been a while since I was last there, Super Bulldog Weekend. I remember leaving the baseball game that Sunday feeling down, depressed, and angry all at the same time. What I thought was a top 5 baseball team was exposed to me in person to be nothing more than the team I saw a year before. In fact we were worse. I vowed not to return to another baseball game, and therefore have had no reason to grace campus again, until now.

I'm still not feeling optimistic about our chances tomorrow night. I just found out we are wearing maroon pants. I could really care less what we look like out there fashion-wise, but what sense does wearing white jerseys at home make if we wear maroon pants? A "white-out" I can understand, the team wearing all white and all that. But, we are essentially wearing the same amount of maroon colored clothing as before, only now as pants rather than a jersey. In the end, we can wear pink and orange as long as we find a way to win, which is why I'm able to complain about the wardrobe.

I'm sticking with my 24-10 prediction. I'm actually proud of myself in a way. Every year I allow myself to get swept up into the optimistic BS, but not this year. I've had enough and will remain skeptical until something jars me from this stance.

One more note, apparently Jackie made the sheep angry by picking Spurrier to beat us. Come on guys, Jackie is no longer affiliated with MState, the guy is now essentially an media "expert". He was asked his opinion and ,unlike Lou Holtz, gave a non-homerific pick. Hats off to Captain Mumbles for giving a straight answer for the first time I can remember.
