It's game day.
Kickoff is about five hours away. I'm about to leave Tuscaloosa for Starkville.
Let's do this.

If you shoot spitwads at Dooley during the game and can provide proof, you will have my undying admiration. Any other middle school prank of equal hilarity is acceptable.

Drive was about 9 hours for us from STL but baby needs require stopping a bunch.
We are directly across from gate 3.

Less than 90 minutes.
Easy drive. Just take Highway 82 and wait until you see the sign for MissState.

Greetings from cowbell-crazy Davis Wade Stadium.
Vols and No. 19 Mississippi State kickoff in a little more than two hours.
LOTS of cowbells already.

This 6 day exemption rule sucks. Any idea when CBS is going to decide what game they want?

Quick note about tonight: Ryno isn't here. It's just me, so I'm doing more work than usual and have to write stories, be on the board and update our Twitter feed tonight.
I will get to everything I can as quickly as I can, but please try have just a bit more patience than usual.
Thanks. Go Cubs. Go America.

Yep, as RockyTopATL said, I'm at a wedding where I'll be checking my phone pretty frequently, wishing there was a TV in sight.
As soon as this reception is over, I'll be rushing to the nearest sports bar - hopefully before the end of the third quarter - to catch the end of the game.
But don't worry: Wes and Kevin will be here to keep you guys updated throughout the night.
