I thought surely by now one of my UGA-Lite friends would post this, but they're probably out deer huntin' or stocking up on Skoal. :D

Anyway, congratulations!

Georgia Southern's football program celebrates 25th anniversary this season.
STATESBORO - The landscape has changed considerably, but on any given afternoon you can still get stuck behind a tractor driving down Georgia Highway 67 headed to Georgia Southern University.

Strip malls, gas stations, fast food joints and a major hospital are all new, but pastoral areas remain in abundance.

A school of less than 6,000 students has ballooned to nearly 17,000.

Twenty-five years ago, things were different here. Ask someone who remembers at Georgia Southern's Homecoming festivities this weekend.

In this rural area, where the four F's - family, farming, females and football - are still ways of life, the absence of one was as pronounced as a smile without a front tooth.

"I think Statesboro was ready for a football team, Georgia Southern was ready," said Vince Galasso, a season-ticket holder since the Eagles inaugural season in 1982.

Correct. We also played the Fort Benning Doughboys, an army squad, back then.

Thanks for posting that. Although I knew about everything he wrote, it was very cool to see it. Do you know where it came from?

The website seems to be from a school system in Oregon. Go figure. It must first have been a speech or an article somewhere around the "Coastal Empire". Strange how stuff ends up floating around on the web.
