On June 30, my wife and I had our 48th wedding anniversary—and all Mississippi celebrated! Horns honking. Cowbells ringing. People hugging strangers. And most folk don’t even know us. What a great place to live!
Well, maybe the anniversary and the celebration were somewhat unrelated. I suppose those boys knocking an orb with a stick in Omaha had something to do with it. But my question is: Who really won?
Hotel owners and vendors in Nebraska are convinced they did. Bulldog fans worldwide thought they won. Guys in “lucky” shirts eating calorie-rich food and cheering loudly probably didn’t have too much to do with the win. Who did?
