On the Subject of Football:

First, something I miss:
The Blue Gray Game, played by the nations college senior All Stars, had been played from 1939 until 2003. That year's game, in Troy, Alabama was played on Christmas Day in Movie Gallery Stadium and was won by the Blue, 31-24.

It has since been left to die a painful death, for those of us fans of real football, a showcase for small and medium schools, is now gone. That and it was one hell of a fun tailgate.
