Thank You's on a Football Saturday

Yesterday was another football Saturday for the record books.  I woke up with excitement for the day and was not disappointed.  Other than being at the beach, football Saturdays are absolutely my favorite times of the year.  On this morning after, it's time to say a few thank you's to those that made it so great!

1.  Thank you KFC Starkville for opening at 9:30 instead of 10:00 so I could pick up some of your fabulous Cole slaw to go with our pulled pork sammaches.   The Louisville KFK-TACO Bell was locked up tighter than a drum during our drive by.  Not one breakfast burrito could be seen, much less a chicken fry cook on this day!

2.  Thank you to the event staff worker that wouldn't let me pass for a close up drop off spot.  You were quite entertaining to the spousal unit as I hauled our stuff the last 30 yards to pay dirt.  The guy was scheduled to work his station from 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in all that heat.  You have got to love those fans that abuse the courtesy of unloading by not moving your car from these premium spots.  We all are now paying for your indescretion.

3.  Thank you passerby girly friend for toting your load.   It's an awesome sight to see a coed all decked out in her finest, while holding up her end of a fully loaded Yeti cooler.  Boyfriend, time for you to get a wagon or dolly for future games.  Betting that girlfriend could beat most guys in an arm wrestling contest!

4.  Thank you to your female guest at our tailgate for wearing that dress of yours with the revealing neckline.  After quizzing all the guys, one could recall the color or your eyes and only two got your hair color right!

5.  Thank you to the older gentleman parading with through the junction with the American flag and placard asking "what happened to the color guard presentation" before kickoff.  It made me take notice in the stadium that you are right, "where in the hell was the color guard?"

6.  Thank you MSU for allowing fans to bring bottled water into the stadium.  The discounted price on purchases of water was a nice touch too.  I still paid the higher price to another vendor because the line was much shorter.

7.  Thank you to the stadium maintenance crew for such a clean event location.  You might want to give the asphalt paving company a call before the next home game.  People, including myself, we're tripping on all the loose pieces of asphalt that have popped loose on the visitor side!

8.  Thank you to man cub's girly friend for the entertainment.   The look on my son's face was priceless when you announced that you had left your student ID in your backpack that was left at the condo!  Tuff to get into the stadium without your eticket that is on your ID!  Thank you bulldog fan for selling 2 tickets for $10!

9.  Thank you to "Stump" for being the friend to help take down our tailgate stuff and getting it to the car.  That was a life saver, and both man cub and I appreciated your help!

10.  Thank you Sonic for having that slush machine.  Those two large cups of this frozen treat was just what the doctor ordered for the ride home.

11.  Thank you Susan and Beau for hosting the Ole Miss vs Bamer game at your new house.  The food was great and the company was outstanding, even if I was the only Bulldawg in the house!

12.  Thank you Vickie for your excitement during that touchdown with your splashdown.  I've never seen a woman get that excited!  Glad the couch was scotch guarded! Tinkle!  Tinkle!  Lol!

13.  Thank you Alabama fans for those looks of shock when your team was down by 20.  It's a shame all those fans headed to the parking lot early.  They missed quite a shootout!

14.  Thank you social media.  FB makes sharing victory and defeat so much sweeter!  Being able to share the game experience with  our tailgater friend across the State during the game was sweet!

15.  And most of all, I am thankful to be able to do it all over again this coming Saturday!  Let the food menu planning begin!!!
