The name STARKville is pretty appropriate though.

A town named after a French and Indian War vet who is one of the most renowned badasses of the Revolutionary War -- who later coined the New Hampshire state motto. The guy that's prettymuch Mel Gibson in the Patriot. I agree. Perfectly named.

Patriot was composite; lots of Francis Marion "Swamp Fox", too.

Is someone seriously trying to start a Starkville - Oxford pissing match? Is that the route this topic is heading?

South Panola fans did a hotty toddy.

Of all the stupid shite you've tried to spin, this is lulz inducing more so than any other.

It really is dumb. No comparison in the two. Even my state friends and even some who live in starksville admit as much. No knock on starksville though, it just is what it is

Didn't Freeze grow up on a farm? He should feel at home dodging cow patties in Starkville.

What am I spinning? I literally gave you the namesake of the town.

But I'm glad you can name a town after an elite university in England that you can fancy yourself as, while you make less money than literally everyone else in the SEC...

You are attempting to spin this to money when we are talking about a stadium that doesn't even have working lights?!

Typical stadium HIDs suck in that even if you just have a surge, they are down 20-30 minutes before they cool down enough to come back on. And this problem was obviously bigger than a surge with a full transformer down.

LED technology is nearly stadium-applicable now. Probably one technology "generation" away. Which lends itself to immediate on/off and a bunch of "emergency" backup options. Really lets you do all kind of cool stuff with lighting if you so choose and would end any possibility of blackouts.

Worst part is that I know the Hump and Tad Pad also use the same HIDs. Glad we weren't playing basketball tonight...

I left the game about 30 min ago. Oak Grove goes 3 and out due to a TFL by Panoloa stud DE Dreyland Porter. After the punt one of the Rotenberry twins took it 60 on a screen pass for a TD. Right before the kick off the power blows. Rain doesn't come for another 20 min. About to try to start back though.

I'm glad the tad pad is on it's death bed. Actually, it has been for years, we just declared it DNR this year
