Pete Boone spends too much time peddling to liberal alumni, most of which are lawyers. There has always been a lot of money in Oxford, but there are some out of state folks that are settling in Oxford now. (I think they are getting most of the parking passes these days)
And a parking pass is now a BIG deal on football gameday, since the absurd decision to outlaw parking on the highways. (When a girl was killed by a drunk driver, instead of getting serious about eliminating the drunk driving, they eliminated parking on the highways.)
I attended an average of 8-9 Rebel games per year between 1977 and 2004. In 2005 I moved to Texas and only made it to one game. In 2006 I did not make it to a single game for the first time in 30 years.
I did go to the Bama game this past weekend, and am going to the Arkansas and LSU games, as well.
I became an Orgeron fan during the game, even though we lost. The man plays all-out to win, and I respect that. I think we're one more good recruiting class away from becoming competitive again. Cut left the cupboard incredibly empty.
