Jean,I believe college football is taken more seriously in the southeast,although I know other parts are serious about it too. A winning athletic department means so much in terms of donations by former students,etc.Admission applications rise after a successful season.Lots of the states in the SEC only have 1 or 2 major colleges,and no pro teams.About the only game in town!

I'm not keen on any particular college or their sports teams, so I can pick on all of them with equal opportunity: Why is the GT football team like a possum? Because they play dead at home and get killed on the road. How do you keep a GT player out of your yard….Put up goalposts. How do GA Tech fans count to 10? 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, 0-4…. I don't care who you are that's funny right there! Let's see, who's next? Jean Good one Jean,but James may not be thrilled! I've got some,but not suitable online! snuffy

Shotgunner,football is big business here.Texas A&M is the lifeblood of our county.Over 50,000 students,a small college,Blinn,with over 12,000 students,lots who transfer to A&M. 90,000 fans on gameday.Our stadium is being expanded to over 100,000 in the next couple years.I was fortunate enough to have all 4 of my kids graduate from there. The campus is 15 miles from my house,they lived at home.Probably 30 relatives did, My wifes nephew went to tu,Berkeley at Austin,the only longwhorn in the family. So I'm kinda biased Iguess you could say! The rivalries are very strong,lots of bullsh#t slung back and forth.Lots of fun!! Last year was our first in the SEC.Look forward to building new ones in the future! I know Alabama and LSWHO will be gunning for us! snuffy

Fossilman,its great to hear your canning activities.I started gardening when I got married.At that time,I was the youngest one in the area to have one,lots of older folks did.Over the years,the oldsters have passed,and now I'm the old one.No youngsters do it now,hard to hold a hoe in your hand with a cell phone or game machine in it! I used to can more variety when my uncle had a huge garden and gave me excess produce,but hes gone.

You must buy jars by the case.How many jars will you put up? James,I didn't have to buy many.Had lots of them from my mothers days of canning,some probably over 50 years old. I try to have 40 quarts on hand after the growing season. snuffy
