but Oxford is pretty mid as far as the in-game atmosphere.

Sound like you haven't been to a game there.

They don't always do it but when they really want to, and they WILL REALLY REALLY want to, it can be as hostile as anywhere.

We were at the show in Tupelo the night before. I had a good time.

No, they don’t sound like they did 40 years ago; who does?

They had a little bit of a rough start with the sound, I felt like it was a problem with the mix but once they fixed that it was a lot better.

But the place was packed and it was a fun show. Drummer Deen Castronovo was great and he actually got the biggest ovation at the end. The camera they had on him behind the drumset shows he is working hard back there.

Arnel Pineda sounded good and sang with a lot of energy. Neil Schon was Neil Schon. Jonathan Cain came out in a Tupelo High School football jersey so he got some play from that.

I always drag my daughters to these things so they can say they saw them. They always have fun once they figure out exactly who they are seeing. They were kind of antsy in the beginning while they did the “deep tracks,” but once the band started cranking up all the hits and radio songs they got into it and had a good time too.

I thought it was fun, I would go back to see them again, and I was never more than a casual Journey fan. Lots of people there who had seen Journey several times before said they enjoyed it too.

I was at both of those, agree with you.

Publish or Perish.

Lot of people out there having to justify their salaries and positions and grant money.

That shite is hard. I have cleaned it with a .22 a few times but never with a 9.

Yes there have been some good games and I have been trying to watch the two Mississippi teas but it is just not the same.

It's the same up here. I know two guys who approached Mississippi State with $100K in hand to try to get 4 baseball tickets they could split during the season.

They came home empty handed.

Going to church.

My dad never went with us but he told me I was gonna get my arse up and go to church with my mother and sisters.

Resented the hell out of it for years.

Mississippi State since LSU is not in there.

Years after I left home my dad had one that would come down out of a tree in the front yard and get a pecan off his knee.

He told me about it one time when I was visiting for a few days, I said I didn't believe him. He says OK I'll show you.

He went out on the front porch in his damn pajamas and some pecans in a plastic bowl. He had told me to stay inside the house by the window and shut up and be still.

He rattled the bowl a couple of times and then put one on his knee and sat still.

Sure enough about a minute later a squirrel comes down the tree about 30 feet from the porch. It looked around and then hopped across the yard, up on the porch, and hopped up his knee and grabbed the pecan. The damn thing peed on his leg a little then jumped off and ran back up the tree.

I asked my dad, did you train it to pee on you too? He said, oh yeah he does that sometimes, he gets nervous!

When I was younger and still at home he used to tell me that when he sat outside under the shed to play his guitar, a blue jay with a swollen left knee would drop out of the trees and perch at the edge of the shed to listen.

I always refused to believe it; I guess maybe that one was true as well??
