Looking over other message boards, FL has some serious but hurt over our recruiting.

I went to MSU in the early 80s. Back then Starkville was Aberdeen with a university sitting next to it. Starkville has morphed into a pretty decent college town. The stuff that did that is about to explode too. I barely recognize it now in places. In 10 years kids that are there now may not.

I got ya'll all beat, when I started in 1973, the only fast food we had was the Sonic on 12 and a Burger Chef on the backside of campus. But I loved it, plenty of drunken late night runs to Sarges and the Artesia Railroad Cafe, where my buddies persuaded me to try brains and eggs for the first time. I was really drunk.

Know what you mean. Class of 77, thought Len Lew's kitchen (won a lot of hamburger plates shooting pool) if we got there early and Sarge's very late after we left were 5 Star establishments. If I didn't go home on weekends, Sunday dinner was a bbq plate from Coleman's. Can't forget Burger Chief and Jeff commercials. Showing my age. Hail State, Past, Present and Future!

Was the Mug 'n Cone already closed then?

1971.

Sonic hadn't opened yet, I don't think and I think the Mug & Cone was closed. Burger Chef was it for fast food.

I had a job in Columbus, 3:30pm to 11 pm. Burger Chef was my every-day stop when leaving campus on the way to work.

"i'll have a Big Chef, large fries and a medium coke to go please"


The passenger side floorboard stayed level with the seat with burger chef bags.

I too ate at Sarges, got first degree in 73, then returned in 75 to do it again.
