Inaugural Post

Well, I started a blog. I guess I have a lot to say. There's a lot going on. The main thing up is the impending doom that is football season at Mississippi State. I started as a student at MSU the year it all came crashing down, 2001. I went to nearly every home game and a few away games in the following years. I watched some terrible football. I was there to see us lose to Maine, win our only two games of 2003, watch Odell Bradley become the human revolving door at corner back, watch Avery House take up his torch but at offensive tackle, see Norwood make that incredible game winning run against Florida, see Norwood break the alltime school rushing record, and watch Jackie go out in shame in a miserably wet 31-0 blowout. Through all of that I stayed. Why? Well the answer is easy. Being a State fan is akin to having a virus with no cure. You can't help it, no matter how many times they make you mad, break your heart, embarass you, build up your hopes only to dash them on the rocks, or snatch defeat from the jaws of victory you come back. It gets in your blood and you cannot help it. So here I am back with tickets sitting in my closet waiting to be used to watch what will likely be more of the same. What can I say, I bleed maroon and white. And when I say bleed, I mean I really do bleed.

P.S.: Props to Jerious Norwood for ripping it up on CBS last night. In his first ever NFL preseason game he had 71 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. He made New England look foolish and showed why he was a steal in the 3rd round of the draft. Thanks for all the memories J-Rock, and looking forward to you tearing it up over in Atlanta.
