| Awesome day, until . . . |
It was a beautiful day for football, one of the best opening days in the past 10 years. Sunny, high of 83, the Grove was warm and inviting, Masoli was cleared to go, and the Rebels were enjoying a first half whipping up on a cupcake Div.I-AA team.
And then . . .

| Actual looks on the faces of the people in my section. |
As the crowd looks on in utter disgust; the bottom drops out and the rug is pulled from under the Rebels.
If you would have told me yesterday that the Rebels would lose to Jacksonville State, I would not have believed you any more than I would if you told me Jacksonville State hails from Alabama rather than Florida. Wait, what? Really? There's a Jacksonville, Alabama? Great, now Ole Miss will lose 3 games this year to teams from Alabama.
If there's one thing I learned from 70's radio, it's this:
1. You don't pull on Superman's cape.
2. You don't spit into the wind.
3. You don't coast after you get a decent lead and then let J-State get momentum heading into the 4th quarter.
4. You don't mess around with Jim (or Slim).
That Jim Croce was an eerie prognosticator.

unlike the crowds, my face was all smiles as this game came to a close...i will post anonymously b/c from your 70's radio lessons, you don't mess around with gene
Anonymous??? The last part is certainly true, but at least go with a catchy nom de plume if you're going to razz the man.
