Mstate

My direct surname ancestor (5x grandfather) He enlisted for service in the Waxhaw settlement where he was residing in what is now York County and enlisted about 1 July 1778 and was discharged in Nov. l781. (Note he was only 15 years old when he enlisted.) His service was as a private and he served under Captains Henry Coffee, Marshall Jones, John Montgomery and under Cols. Bratton and John Marshall. He took part in the siege of Charleston, the storming of Buckhead Fort, the battles of Rocky Mount, Black River, Wright’s Bluff, Fourholes and Granby Fort.

2010 was awesome.

A young, energetic Mullen absolutely demolished Rich Rod in the gator bowl

I’ll probably never see state absolutely destroy a blue blood like that again. 52-14 arse kicking of Michigan

My grandad was stationed at Kadena air base on Okinawa during Korea. Was in a b29 unit

The 5.3L isn’t having problems. It’s probably the most sold engine in the country between the GM SUVs and trucks. And there’s just not that much out there on post-2022 vehicles.

I’m not going to claim GM makes the most reliable vehicles and they certainly have their issues (6.2, lifters in 5.3 etc) but I do think some of the bad perception is due to the volume of full size trucks and SUVs they have on the road. Everyone of us knows people that have one so of course you’ll hear more about their issues

I am intrigued to see how the new 5.7 and 6.6 turn out.

The were ahead of the US on the cycle. Strong men fought and ruled across centuries, had good times until the 20th, now are in the late phase of weak men staring at the precipice of hard times.

So many French bloodlines were snuffed out in the two world wars

Probably the 2021 or before tundra with the bulletproof 5.7 v8. Drinks gas like sumbitch though

I have a 18 Tahoe with the 5.3 and 6 speed with 130k trouble free miles. I know it’s an suv but same drivetrain as the GM trucks. I’ve always had good luck with the 5.3

Throw in Armageddon. What’s more American than Bruce Willis and a bunch of oil field baws flying to a meteor and detonating a nuke to save the world. God I love that movie

I moved out in 2017, and thought it had been going downhill. Columbus has too though fwiw, probably at a faster rate than Starkville.

---

In what world is it going downhill? Starkville has been trending upward and Columbus has been going downhill for decades.

Schools have gotten a lot better, nice new neighborhoods being built around town, downtown has been revitalized, cotton district has exploded, new mixed use developments all over, Grant presidential library building in development etc etc

The one thing Starkville needs for a town of its size is a better hospital and there is some small crime bleed over from West Point/Columbus but pales in comparison to other SEC towns

I’m from Columbus but don’t have a lot of info on the company. I think they got started up after I moved off.

Absolutely without a shadow of a doubt live in Starkville over Columbus. Much more restaurants, bars, live music etc.

Starkville has had a bad reputation through the years but it’s not 2003 Starkville anymore. Last decade plus has been really good and it’s a fine little college town nowadays
