That cover is sick (in a good way)
and I'll definitely be picking it up, but...
c'mon ANOTHER Wright Thompson grammatical masterbation?
So... Drinking game...
Take a drink if/when he mentions:
1. William Faulkner
2. James Meredith
3. Cotton
4. Civil Rights Act
5. Murders in Philadelphia
6. Ole Miss in the 1950's
7. Himself
8. LSU and/or Billy Cannon
Two drinks if:
1. He uses more than 25 words in a single sentence. Take an extra drink if you can compose that same sentence in fewer than 8.
2. The article has more pictures of Mississippi State, but more words about Mississippi University.
3. Bo is compared favorably to Dak.
4. The side notes are more interesting.

Are you trying to kill us with alcohol poisoning?
i actually like Wright Thompson, but his stories about anything MS related are pretty formulaic.
One question. Who the 17 is Wright Thomoson? And why does anyone think he's a good writer? Ok, that's two questions. But I clicked onto a link to something he wrote a week if two ago and it was damn near unreadable. By the time I was halfway through a paragraph, I'd already forgotten what the first half was about.
The duality of man. The Jungian things.
(cue the field picture. Bonus points for football AND farm in one shot)
The beautiful song about devastating loss.
The wonderful food that will stop your heart.
The hospitable people with the darkest past.
Because every rowdy Saturday night turns into a remorseful Sunday morning.
Eventually every bill comes due.
Nobody knows about these things more than...DAMMIT, now I'm doing it.

I'm pretty sure our football staff sent him that edit. They've been doing those all year and mailing them and tweeting them to recruits. Really cool idea.
