Funny you say that because I had a partial scholly offered to me by FHU

but it was "minute". Even with the partial scholly it was WAY more than MSU.

The high school class I teach at church on Wednesday nights is about to learn that term, too. Just getting into the Restoration Movement......sad how people use that term with no real knowledge of what it means or where it came from.

I wouldn't have been able to afford out of state tuition so that basically leaves USM. OM totally out of the picture.

USCe or UGA. I was either going to be a good bulldog, a bad one in Athens, or a Cock. Also for some reason the University of Miami sent me a lot of mail. I didn't even apply to Thug U.

ETA: I really need to learn how to reply to the correct posts/threads. This is getting embarrassing. I'll never reach Message Board Super Hero Status this way.*

Why? We like to let a few poors in every year so that we don’t lose touch with the common man. The empty whiskey and Robitussin bottles don't pick themselves up after games.

Church history should be mandated to our high school youth. Awesome that your church does it. Throw in a story about Raccoon John Smith for good measure.

There's a lot of churches that play dodgeball and eat pizza, or worse, adapting "church" to fit their style. And its killing our kids. 88% of 18-30 year olds are out of church.

30yr old ckDOG would tell 18yr old ckDOG to go to Texas, TAMU, or UNC.

Hate admit it, but I'd be Indnbear.

18yr old ckDOG almost went to Auburn for some reason. I don't regret having gone to MSU. I got a big bang for the buck at MSU.

Didn't have that much of a choice since two aunts worked at MSU and I lived with my grandmother while attending MSU but Texas A&M was my second choice.

Texas A & M

After graduating from MSU, I went to grad school there. I would have gone to undergrad there if not for MSU.

Boone, NC seems like a cool place to have spent my college years. Though I would have still pissed those years away on booze and drugs so I'm glad I saved the money.

Maybe Duke?

I was selected for their talent search, and I was accepted, but I doubt I would have gotten a scholarship and I don't think the finances would have been feasible. It would have probably been UAB or Samford.

Millsaps was my second choice. I chose MSU because of family reasons (my father attending and my sister graduating from there) and because I thought I was going to be an engineer but I wasn't as mathematically inclined as I thought I was but that's another story.<br><br>My mother attended Millsaps so I've always thought highly of the college-- even applied and was a finalist for a job there once several years ago. And sometimes-- even though I value all the education I earned and the friends I made while I was a student at MSU-- I wonder what my undergraduate experience at Millsaps would have been like.

Had Schollies to Brown, Columbia, Manhattan, St. Johns, NY Tech, CW Post. I wanted to go to Arizona, but no offer. MSU was the only southern school to give me some money, so that is where I went.

Coach Polk had a 3 ring binder full of 8x10 pictures. The first thing in Coach Polk's book was a picture of the football team. He started to go on about how MSU was in the SEC. In NY we knew nothing of college football other than Notre Dame and USC. I did hear of Alabama because that is where Joe Namath and subsequently Richard Todd had come from. I thought how strange to first mention football when I was looking for a place to play Baseball. It wasn't a good selling point for me.

Ole Miss, Livingston (now West Alabama), USM, or Millsaps

I thought I might become a Marine officer like my dad, so until my Junior Year in High School I was wanting to choose between Ole Miss and Livingston, because OM had a Navy ROTC program and my brother attended Livingston.

By my senior year of High School (and after a week at Boy's State), I was interested in Political Science. Both Millsaps and USM had good Poly Sci departments. I liked my visit to USM but Millsaps kept recruiting me so I went there.

By the middle of my freshman year, I was seeing how Petroleum Engineers were making HUGE salaries ($30,000/yr back then) just out of college, so I decided to transfer Mississippi State for its PTE program.
