Will anyone from this board be in attendance?

There's a chance I might be. We have three players involved and if I can get away on Saturday I'll drive up to Jackson.

I won't be going, but i'd like to know if there will be any media coverage. Radio, live stats, or anything else. Please make the links available.

JACKSON, Miss. Jerry Babb of Louisiana-Lafayette passed for a touchdown and led the Green team to a strong offensive showing in a 32-to-14 win over the Red team in the Magnolia Gridiron Classic.

The Green team, made up of Division One-A and lower-division all-stars, jumped out to a 25-to-nothing lead midway through the first half on the way to its second straight win over a Red team made up of Division One-double-A all-stars.
