Buy/Sell -- State should schedule a service academy.
- Thread starter TheBigDA
- Start date
I definitely like the thought of scheduling a service academy. I am all about some patriotism. <div>We wouldn't necessarily have an easy win and it wouldn't be GT or Houston. And I would like to see the football representatives of our servicemen/women in Starkville. It would be a classy move. OM wouldn't do it</div>
It should be a relatively easy win and could make for great PR. The military is a huge part of State's tradition, too. Finding a way to highlight all the MSU students who've died in service to their country would be a nice touch. <div><div><div>

We won 38-10. Navy had a fine running back, Napoleon McCallumthat eventually went to the pros.
Got major chill bumps when four Navy fighter planes flew through at about light post level. The noise was unbelievable.

I remembered McCallum, and the Jets going through.... had to look up the date, etc.
Think we had Jets fly through at Starkville the next week.

We got beat and my car got broken into. The cops said that the Liberty Bowl parking lot was a shopping mall.
I'd like to see us play all of them. Set them up on a rotating schedule so we have one on the schedule each year. Set it up for the veterans appreciation weekend each year. It would be a great tradition to start and might even bring in some cool flyovers!!!!
It would be good PR for the University. Kind of like Jackson State and Alcorn but on a way bigger scale. Army would be an easy win but Air Force and Navy have been known to field pretty good teams.
