The best way I know how to describe the atmosphere downtown today is that of a football bowl game. There are thousands of Arkansas and Ole Miss fans in town for this game — more Razorback fans, but a large number of Rebels, too.

My wife and I actually ate at Rocco’s today with some neighbors who drove up last night. The rumor was that they are running low on products because there has been such high demand for Jell-O shots this weekend.
To put it in perspective, Mississippi State fans set the record with 2,000-something shots over a two-week span last year. Arkansas and Ole Miss fans have both exceeded that record in three or four days.
Yep. Been many a time when I was a Platoon Sergeant that I had soldiers do that the night before field training and then have to get stuck with an IV to get their stuff together.
