By all rights I should be a State fan. Everyone except my mom and one other relative, on both sides of my family went to and graduated from State. I was attached to my mom's hip until I started school. Whenever State would beat Ole Miss in any sports, I felt bad for her because she was always being ganged up on. So I became an Ole Miss fan. Not really sure when I made my mind up but it was when I was really young.

Up until probably 2011 I had been to more Mississippi State football games and I've still been to more State baseball games than Ole Miss games. My dad, brother, uncle and cousins used to try and go to at least one weekend game at Dudy Noble every weekend State had a home series. Was usually the Sunday game. I'm only the second person in my family to graduate from Ole Miss.

Graduate in my case. I was born in Alabama, military family, and moved all around the country. So I grew up cheering on the Tide. Not to mention my first football memories usually centered around Bear Bryant stalking the Bama sidelines.

Fate, however, landed me in this wonderful state. My family had owned farm property here since the 80's. 1880's that is, and I sort of settled down there. Went to the U of A and I fell in love with the University and Fayetteville.

I have lived here ever since, cheering on the Hogs in the good years, and the bad.
