Mercer v Alabama

While Macon doesn't meet the criteria of a college town, there is certainly a lot of spirit on Mercer's campus today. As some of you may know, the Mercer men's basketball team defeated No. 18 USC in Los Angeles over the weekend. They're up against the Crimson Tide tonight in a game that looks to be sold out.

Craig managed to get a great ticket for the game, so he will attend (as soon as he helps me get the girls to bed that is). Who knows if the boys really have a chance, but it should be interesting to watch.

The reality is that nothing can put Mercer on the map like another win. I suppose it's somewhat of a sad commentary, but Mercer's financial and enrollment goals would be met (if not exceeded) should the team play well. Go Bears!
