I moved to Starkville around six weeks ago and have noticed that. One thing I don't understand is why the fast food joints don't go ahead and reopen for indoor dining. That would not solve entire problem, but could help a bit.
There is no one I like more than Jake, but outcomes have nothing to do with color of uniform. I respectfully disagree with wearing non school colors to one third of our SEC games!
I totally agree regarding the lack of maroon in last few years. It's nothing that lessens my support for MSU, but I've been known to mention it occasionally, especially the apparent love affair with black. Seems like 20% or so of MSU apparel at many stores is now black. As for as athletes...
One thing we never seem to get polled about are the decisions telling us "What to wear" for certain games. Not sure who is making those decisions, but not a fan at all of it. Especially head scratching is decision to ask fans to wear black for the UK game in September. Very likely will be a day...
