    What are the odds that "Flim Flam" is referenced during a State or OM game broadcast this year?
    Death penalty or bust!!!***

    Got my pre-ordered, signed copy yesterday (was in the box when I checked it this morning). Already on chapter 7. This is good!

    Finished it this afternoon. Great job by Steve; It's a really good read. He definitely did his homework. I kind of want to reply to Mr. Hall at the Ledger (whom replied to my email sent to Gannett) and ask if he's read it. I won't because I already can foresee his reply. However, he should read it. Every MS resident should. I hope all of Gannett's top brass reads it. The reader will get a good idea of why most MS residents think the CL is a joke.

    Back to the book; While I knew the main issues that were going to be covered, I was still eager to read it (kinda why I finished it in 2 days).

    Here's a teaser: Northern Miss is screwed.

    There is more to come..... Steve said that there "may be" another book coming..... I found names that I have looked up and have found interesting information on them... Still connecting some dots to the BIG MONEY....

    Finished it today. There are a few minor grammar/punctuation issues. But all in all, it is a very well written book (I usually read about 25 books annually). There is nothing earth-shattering in it, but things that we already knew are presented in more detail. I was very worried about libel/slander, but Steve does a good job of differentiating between fact and opinion. And he presents backup or evidence for what he says. So I think he is in the clear. Kudos to Rosebowl. Well done and worth buying for any MSU fan.

    How was it shipped ... Post Office, UPS, FedEx? I still haven't gotten mine. I ordered it the first night the web site was available.

    I probably wouldn't have been able to find it in stores anywhere up here, but dammit, I pre-ordered the 17'n thing so I wouldn't be as pissed as I am now to see "Good book, finished it today".

    Yeah, I knew I couldn't buy it here so I ordered one. Looks like it'll be a week after hitting the stores in Mississippi before we see it. Maybe more.

    Are you in Mississippi?
