West Point squeaked one out Friday night against Noxubee Co. West Point won by the final score of 10-8 after Noxubee fumbled a snap on 4th & 4 from inside the 10. West Point fans breathed a big sigh of relief. It was kind of a sloppy game, but most season opening games are in high school football. West Point will improve as their new coach continues to get broke in. This week, Columbus High School.

Leslie and I journeyed down to Jackson, MS this weekend to watch the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints play in their final preseason game at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium. Leslie bought me tickets earlier this year as an anniversary gift. The game itself was fun, Peyton Manning played the entire first half and showed why he is the best QB in the NFL, and Deuce McCallister and Reggie Bush got significant playing time for the Saints, however what wasn't fun was being stuck in traffic for an hour and waiting 30 minutes outside of the stadium, tickets in hand, to get into the stadium at the one of two gates that were open. It was the most poorly organized event I have ever been to. Some people did not get into the game until halftime because of traffic and crowd overflow at the gates. I highly doubt Jackson will be hosting an NFL game anytime in the near future. It was truly sad and a waste of money for the people who couldn't get in.
Here's a link to a blog that has some funny comments about the crowd overflow. Click here
