Stop whatever you're doing.



No more clowning around.



It's just about time for some college football. Well, to tell the truth, it's been on TV and the computer already for hours and will continue into the night.



Before we begin, take a moment to learn the ground rules of being a college football fan who watches on the computer or TV instead of at the stadium because it's over 2,600 miles away.



Get some ice cream in a bowl. Don't forget your spoon.

 

And some Coca-Cola in a glass filled with ice. Or, if you're of a mind, put away that bowl, get out a bigger glass, and make yourself a Coke float. Change your spoon for a teaspoon so that you can stir and reach deep into the glass and spoon this delightful drink into your mouth. Yummy.

 

Head for your favorite chair.



Let the action begin! My Mississippi State University Bulldogs play Auburn, over in Alabama. I believe I shall be able to watch on my computer screen if all goes well. Go, Dawgs!

 

The gorgeous Carnegie Library building, 100 years old in 2013, which now houses the Gresham History Museum. Isn't it grand that this beauty has been saved and is still in use?

On the way to Labor Day,bear with me, y'all. I am one hundred percent a Mississippi State University football fan. And the season starts today--those folks have been at work!

Mississippi State University! Go, Dawgs! Hail State!

There's a really big game today for the Mississippi State University football team and all of us True Maroon fans. The Dawgs play at Alabama. I shall be busy from 5:30 p.m. to approximately 8:30 p.m., Portland time--thank you, ESPN! I shall have my Mississippi State cowbell app at the ready. I'll play the fight song, "Hail State," on that same app and ring that virtual cowbell!
