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.

Green(I-a) 32, Red(I-AA) 14
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.
The game is for players considered possible pro prospects whose teams didn't make the postseason.

Illinois' Pierre Thomas scored on a one-yard run and the Green team ran away with the game and Terrell Jordan of Northwestern capped Green scoring with an eleven-yard touchdown in the second half.
Babb completed five of seven passes for 71 yards as the one-A all-stars amassed 386 yards of offense.
Edgar Jones of Southeast Missouri State was the game's defensive M-V-P.
He had four sacks for the one-double-A all-stars.
Jamal Pittman of Jackson State and Eldra Buckley of Tennessee-Chattanooga scored on runs of 1 and 7 yards late in the second half to rally the Red team.
Aries Nelson of Mississippi Valley State led the Red offense with 161 total yards, including 64 rushing.
