Really exciting stuff, some thrilling receptions, back & forth final minutes. Whew!

didn’t really have a favorite tonight. So it was even better. During last 10 minutes, fans on both sides were looking ill.

I guarantee she would have said, “I’m taking to the bed” after Georgia got within 12 points.

Huntsville is a nice town, very different from much of Alabama.

We lived near Stennis Space Center in South Mississippi. Great to have it. Although on occasion they could make some noise with their rocket testing.

The game was on one of the TVs they had there. I only saw the last fifteen seconds of it. A few minutes later I saw a Willie Horton-style ad against Harris.
