2006-07 College Football Season Opener

I've spent the summer months reading about Mississippi State's football program, recruits, players, coaches, training camps and NCAA decisions and non-decisions. I've enrolled is a sports Internet service so I could get the whole scope about the state of "STATE" football. Huh. Without this I would be clueless. Maybe it would be better to be clueless. The word "Football" has a complete different meaning outside of the USA. One thing for sure it universally conjures my great emotions most every where in the world. I ordered two "STATE" ballcaps all in preparation for the Mississipi State season opener. Bet brought them back on her return trip from Marietta.

I stayed tuned to the Internet broadcast of the game till four am. on a school night!

Let's say some of my questions were answered but now I have a whole new set. Our boys did well and we'll even be better when we get finished with that Auburn team next week. I can't remember when we played a whole game and came away with just one penalty.

That morning, casual friday I dressed in my colors ... maroon "STATE" shirt and jeans. A new Expat at work saw me and mentioned the thursday night ESPN disappointment. After much mouthing off, we concluded that we would miss the college footbal season the most of anything during our days in York. I'm pretty sure this boy must have been from the south and after just a month he's already home sick for some football!. see ya,
