A Big Weekend in Starkville

It was too bad we were on the short end of the scoreboard. We had a great day of tailgating Saturday and the game crowd was outstanding until the end. The sad part is that in the old days we would have been so happy to lose to Auburn by only one point! The defense was stellar and the offense was not. I wore the same unlucky white blouse that I did to the La Tech game and that really was why we lost. Friday night was Bulldog Bash and it was sort of fun but not nearly as packed w/people as in previous years. The weather may have cut into the crowd size. It is so much fun to see all the people at their tailgates from new friends to people we went to school with 4o years ago. It is hard to believe we won't have another home game for a month but hopefully we will have another huge turnout for the Vandy game. Hopefully, Vandy will cool off in the meantime. Sadly, since we won't be back for a long time, I had to send my Boston ferns to Elaine for foster care. Speaking of foster care, Casper gets to go to the country this weekend and stay w/Melba and family. The last time we went to Atlanta he saved us from the tornado at the SEC tournament if you have heard that story. We are meeting some more longtime friends in ATL for some really good dinners. Will report on that next week.
