    I know Jana (jrdoty) is from Joplin... I haven't seen her on since this weekend, but she'll be around. I'll point her in this direction.

    It's a small town, pretty much everyone knew everyone in the whole dang school (all grades). I graduated HS in 2000... seems like forever ago.

    Yep, then you had Bethany like what 5 minutes away lol.

    I graduated in 2000 as well, I played an academic meet over in Albany a couple times, and basketball there a couple times.

    I can see football season could be very interesting around here...

    I hear that Jana... I think during my undergrad years, the Miners won 5 games in 5 years. I went to a few out of sheer boredom, and more for the audience stunts than the game.

    Rolla isn't known for it's football, it's hard to get the academics required for Rolla to mix with the top athletic talent. Truman has the same issue.

    Rolla is ... an interesting place to obtain an education. Sports are, at most, secondary. Academics, Alcohol, then Athletics. ;)

    Of course, it's also 75% male. One of the first things you learn as a female here is that yes, the odds are good... but the goods are odd.

    The flip side of that is there are TONS of women in Rolla... just not many of them.

    ... and after that, the guys still wonder why they can't get a date.

    That is funny, best part about Rolla I remember is I got to do a science camp there on summer. We got to blow stuff up and shoot off fireworks. I was such a nerd in high school.
