Because the game is in Oxford I could care less but Thanksgiving Day will always be my choice.
I will say the Friday game at 11 am in Starkville was a cluster 17 on Thursday night around town. There were tons of people that arrived in town Thursday afternoon / evening and trying to find something in town to eat was nearly impossible. Even the fast food restaurants were closed with except for I thin sonic on the east side of town. If any place was open there was a line out the door or the parking lot was gridlocked around 6 pm.
