Welcome to Saratoga, Mississippi

Some battles, if you win them, the war's not over. But, if you lose them, well, there's not going to be much left when the French show up with reinforcements.

Me: Go to Starkville, determine your career. That has to be fun.

Starnes: Ten years and it all comes down to an away game vs. Mississippi State. Lose and you can start etching the tombstone. Win, and everything can still be fine.

Me: It's a game of inches.

Biggest Mississippi State game in my lifetime, I'm pretty sure.

And as I said earlier this week, the Dawgs should win, if only they will. But today would not be a good day to commit turnovers and penalties.
