Mississippi/Memphis for an extra day

Spent the weekend in Mississippi visiting family and watching far and away, the most enthusiastic fans I have ever seen for a team that is well, not so great. It is like a Gentile version of the Raiders without the face paint and beat downs. 
A large area of the campus called the Grove is transformed into a very high end refuge camp. As far as practical footwear that was not a high priority. Did see a Newfoundland Puppy. 
The game itself was odd as the Couch kept on having his QB in shotgun and doing a hurry up offense even though they were up by around 20. Of course the other team kept back as they did not understand the concept of time. 
The weather for my trip was fantastic but if I had arrived a month earlier or a day later, it would have been too hot or too cold. 



Few other thoughts....
* The WalMart sold everything including Beer. (Maryland, seriously?) It was one of those nicer WalMart supercenters. 
* Found everyone to be very friendly
* The talk radio was Interesting. Based on the tone of what they were saying we are a week away from a Zombie invasion. 

My flight from Memphis to Houston was delayed so I ended up spending the night in Memphis.
