I'll add a category: What's the most remote place from Mississippi you have watched us on TV or online? For me that would be Kirkwall, Mainland Orkney, Scotland. Watched on my phone from the bar at the Kirkwall Hotel.

We won, which made me buy Pacifico’s for our new found bar friends but it was worth it- - - - Especially the somewhat blonde from Vancouver BC

So I went down the rabbit hole of looking for these games and even though Hadad has talked about this frequently, I am shocked at how few games we playing in Starkville in the 70s and 80s. From 78-88 it was
2,2,2,2,4,4,4,4,4,5,4.
I assume it was because of lack of infrastructure, seating, and lodging. I also figure the state pressured us into playing big games in Jackson. Ole Miss was the same. Meanwhile Auburn was playing 5 and 6 at home with a population of 28,000. We really did ourselves no favors to build a program back then.

Glen Allen Ms. 14 Kentucky game.
My biggest adventure watching a game was from La Grange, GA. We went to Great Wolf Lodge and I got a cabana for the TV to watch the La Tech game in 21. The TV did not have ESPNU. So I told my wife I’m going to a restaurant that I called and said they had it to watch. I Uber’d to it sat down at the bar and they told me we don’t have ESPNU. I walked to a couple of different places and nobody had it so I ended up at this empty bar watching on my phone because the bartender let me charge my phone while I watched. My family met me there and we decided to go to Karvelas pizza at halftime and lo and behold they had the game. Midway through the 4th the waiter tells me they have to turn all of the TVs to the UGA game. I told him I would give him a 100% tip if he kept the game on one TV with no sound. All of the regulars said absolutely and I got to watch that drama on the TV.
