re: Observations From The Game

I made the four hour drive up from Spanish Fort with my son home for college.

My only addition to this conversation is I confirmed in person that I will be glad Thomas and Thompson's eligibility will be gone after this season. They just don't gel with any rotation they play with. And I catch myself holding my breath when they're near the ball.

I also confirmed my preconceived notions of Starkville. Not good.

I know it was January 2, but it was an early SEC game and it felt like a high school game. The atmosphere was nonexistent. I found 2nd row, half court seats on Stub Hub for $75 per two days before the game. The 'coliseum' couldn't have been more than 1/3 full. Odd, but about 12 of us Hog fans all ended up together for a nice cheering section.

Oh. Macon's travel was a legitimate move.
