About BulldogBear

Biography:

So, I thought I was putting together a modest game slate for 2022 but it turns out that if all goes according to plan it will be 14. So, it's not that light of a year. Had to make a major trip change due to unfortunate circumstances. There will no be no trip to Colorado. That has instead been replaced by a panned four game road tip in October.

-First football game to attend: 1980 Mississippi State vs. Auburn at Mississippi Memorial Stadium with my mom and dad. I was 7 years old. We won 24-21. My mother worked at an antebellum home in Natchez named Auburn. I knew Auburn's colors were blue and orange and that they would be wearing all white. I naturally assumed a picture of the house would be on the side of their helmet!

-Last football game to attend: The combination of craptastic Texas High School football gimicky offense and at the same time epic heroism that was the MSU-Auburn OT game. That makes 126 MSU games and 209 total FBS games attended.

-Next Up: Georgia Southern @ ULL this Thursday night. Then grab a cooler full of food for the Holidays Friday morning from Don's Specialty meats in Scott, LA.

THE QUEST: I have a lifetime goal to see all FBS schools play live at least once. The latest added to the list were Oklahoma and Nebraska. That brings the total to 87. I'm over halfway now but I'm sure more schools, such as JMU, will move up before I'm done.

The top 5 school appearances in my list of games attended as of today are:

1) Mississippi State - 126 games. Dawgs are 75-51
2) Ole Miss - 52 games but includes 22 Egg Bowl crossovers
3) Southern Mississippi - 15 games
4) Arkansas - 13 games (I never saw that coming 5 years ago)
5) Memphis & Tulane - 11 games
