re: Enjoying the book "The Meat Market"

I'm curious if the book tells about the mood of the river center when Joe announced he was going somewhere else? It was a death blow to the atmosphere of the place.

It doesn't really go into that. Focuses more on Coach O and Ole Miss's perspective.

It's been a while since I read the book, but one of the more interesting stories is Ole Miss and Mississippi State were both after an instate running back that the Rebels thought they had in the bag and at the last minute the coaching staff hears that he had changed his mind and his headed to State. Frank Wilson and a few coaches literally camp out in his driveway to try and convince him to not sign with State haha

Great read, but obviously doesn't go into the dirty side of recruiting, like bag men and such
