Starkville, Mississippi. The home of cowbells, Jerry Rice, and, of course, college football. Starkvegas, as it is affectionately nicknamed, is home to around 25,000 people, but now it will have a new resident. The relevance of football in the state now calls Davis Wade its home. As news broke Thursday night of the resignation of Hugh Freeze, the college football world exploded. The end of Freeze’s tenure, also became the end of something much more. It was likely the end of Golden Era in Mississippi football.
While there was much celebration in Starkville, and on Twitter, there is actually the downfall of losing competition.
