Monday Morning Thoughts

Missouri game:

I had some time to think about the game on the drive back from Oxford. I've decided that our team is headed in the right direction. I'm hoping that the 3rd quarter Saturday will be the turning point back to bowling and winning seasons.

Missouri fans that I met were very nice and seemed to enjoy Ole Miss and the Grove.

For a Missouri perspective on the Grove go here. (The video is on the Right and it takes a few moments to load)

Vandy:

I've asked Vandy fans some questions about this weekend's game. I will post them as soon as I have responses.

The thing that stands out the most to me is that Bama's RB Grant ran for 173 yards against Vandy last week. Maybe BJGE will have another outstanding game this weekend.
