10:30 am... Waffle House... After packing the car, Glenn and I enjoyed a hearty breakfast of a waffle with bacon. His pampered-New-York stomach just couldn't take the grease very well. My southern-raised stomach felt juuuust fine. You can't beat that place. They are all over down here and open 24 HOURS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK! mmmmmmmmmm.... That's all there is to say about that.

12 pm... Jack Cristil... I seriously loved this guy. He reminded me of the older men in my own family. He was incredibly welcoming to us, and I felt completely at home. While Jean was interviewing him inside, I had a short conversation with his next door neighbor. Both had them had been living on that street since they build their homes 44 years ago.

1:30 pm... After some GREAT directions from Mr. Cristil, we headed to our next destination... Starkville, home of Mississippi State!

3 pm... Glenn, Jean, and I checked into our hotel, and just like yesterday, Glenn had to do some work. That left Jean and I to explore the campus. We went to the newly-built Barnes & Noble on Campus and
actually lucked out because it was opening day! I drank a much needed mocha while Jean enjoyed some coffee and cake as well. It was so nice to just sit down and get some work done!

Later on... Not really sure what time, we got hungry... Glenn and I went and grabbed some Sonic from across the street. Hashbrowns, hamburgers, and a rootbeer float among other things were consumed. It
really hit the spot!

Later later on... Glenn and I went to the stadium to get a feel for what we were getting into tomorrow. Even though we don't know many cheers, we still got the spirit going with some pom-poms in the stands.

12 pm... now... I'm exhausted and going to bed. After all, we've got to get up early to eat breakfast with the team! So what do you think? Biscuits and gravy? Bacon and eggs? Ohhhh I can't wait to find out!
