  • Today was Coach’s memorial service in Starkville.  His passing is still just surreal and the entire Bulldog Nation is aching – but he was honored so well. (I had hoped to travel over but I have been feeling a bit run down with some cold symptoms and fatigue – just a busy time of year… Read more

  • Happy (very) early Monday, y’all. Blogmas Day 12 was a bit delayed because this weekend we celebrated Christmas with our precious family and it was just wonderful.
