You got to look at the history and how poor we have been as a state and how it greatly affected our football program
But wouldn't we have made more money by just having the game on campus?? Seems like that would've made just as much, if not more, money and we would have helped the Starkville economy. Might have had more than 4 hotels before 2012 at that rate.
