I am on an I pad in Mississippi. I have one bar of 3G. My first diatribe only partially posted.
Granted, I missed the fantastic 77-0.
But I am old Ag. Class of 78. I was in the cotton bowl in 74 in the rain the day the band messed up and we got beat 18-14. I've been to losses in Waco, Austin, and Lubbock.
Starkville was worse. Much much worse.
Imagine, if you can, being totally surrounded by cowbell clanging redneck racsts while the mum Orrin belts out music by contemporary rap artists at high volume.
No Aggie band.
The team looks worse than the substances you flushed down the commode during the prep for the last time they shoved the Hubble space telescope up your butt (ie a colonoscopy).
The smug, gloating, Mississippi staters are trying to be kind but occasionally a few would throw our a backhanded barb or two.
I may be the quintessential ugly Texas Aggie. After enough! of the backhanded compliments, my responses included:
I just keep reminding myself that despite the team's showing, I still get to live in Texas.
Isn't this near the part of the state featured in "Mississippi Burning?"
Is your state motto really "thank God for Arkansas"?
Even though nobody threw goal posts in to the stands here in Starkville, I would rather have been in Lubbock. Note: I'm not advocating a return to the B D F . Thrown tortillas are much less damaging to the nerves than those cowbells.
I predate TexAgs to the GoBig12 boards from whence we came. I was a notorious RC Escapegat. I thought of all the SEC places, this one would seem most Bryan/College Stationish of the 70s. I was wrong.
Anybody else traveling back....be safe. BTW, did I mention thatthisplace sucks?
