Martin, TN – Both teams return to reality today. Last week both ventured to play top level FBS teams. The Missouri State Bears fell to Kansas (2-0), 48-17. The Skyhawks of UT Martin went to the very top of the ladder traveling to Athens, Georgia to face the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs. They lost 48-7. Both teams will be chomping at the bit to play someone their own size now. I’ll be seeing these two both play for the first time in my 658th game. Last season, Missouri State defeated UT Martin, 35-30. This should be a good one! Taking St. Laurie on a short road trip to Paris, Tennessee and to Land Between the Lakes Nature Preserve. Look for results of this game by Monday morning. By the way, shortly I will be releasing my new book entitled, Fifty Years of Tailgate Tales: the Good, The Fun, and the Ugly.

My stories of my journey of a lifetime to see 658 games makes up most of the Good and the Fun, but my two essays included will inform readers of the Ugly that could kill this great sport of college football as we know it, and my suggestions on changes to make more teams in the FBS more competitive for the CFP championship. I will announce it soon to be released on Amazon.com.
