Thank you, FWtCBT, for a fun, exciting, academic year. You know, not all of us live within the university's footprint: some of us live just below it, in Tiger country (SE Louisiana); some of us live in freaking hot-ass Arizona, and some of us live beyond world's end, in the Ukraine. Good Lord, we have men in China! You can't swing a dead cat in this world without hitting a Mississippi State Bulldog. Then there's just that shitload of us for whom Saturday and Sunday are very busy days. That's no more than a natural outgrowth of having graduated from the very finest applied sciences & mathematics university on God's green earth. However, on game day, that makes for many of us who can't be on campus to ring cowbells and whoop it up w/ everyone else. I don't like being the only dork in a distant sports bar rooting for MState (I know guys who love this; I don't), so instead I gleefully hang around here to share my passion with my "brothers in maroon" - as one of you put it the other night.

I'm fine, but this academic year has been rife with tragedy for my loved ones. This site has been a source of great joy for me in an otherwise really awful time. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and keep it up!
