Iron Bowl 2005 (Honey where in the suitcase is my underware?)

Ok, My wife did not forget to pack my underware but Patrick our field producer had to buy some while we were down there. To top it off he was not the onlyone.. John Pearson (the sports guy) and Dave Schmidt (photographer aka "Oscar the grouch") were shoping for BVD's as well.

elvis has left the building

The truth be told...The decision for booking hotel reservations for the Mississippi St vs Alabama game in Tupelo, MS was because the Birthplace of Elvis was in fact Tupelo, MS and I wanted to visit there.

Push Keith Push!!

Well it happened, we ran out of gas. Well Keith says I ran it out of gas. I drive a Honda Civic Hybrid and not used to having to fill up quite as often anymore. We were on our way to Auburn for a site check of the upcoming Iron Bowl. We (I) ran out of gas at exit 284 on I 65.
