Thanks to Josh, Kristi and other happy employees at Cracker Barrel; Tom and staff at Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church; Jason and Lee Whitson; the massive support network it takes to put on an FBS-level college football game — police, ticket takers, announcers, ushers, janitorial staff, airports, coastal waterway security, T-shirt vendors, massage therapists, food preparers, IT personnel, late-night fast food drive-thru workers…
