Commercial Appeal's Kyle Veazey shares his thoughts on Freeze

The Memphis Commercial Appeal's Kyle Veazey was in Jonesboro, Ark. when Arkansas State defeated Louisiana-Lafayette for the de facto Sun Belt Championship. He shares his thoughts on what he saw from Freeze, the team, the program and the fan base.

What I remember most about that afternoon isn't so much about the kind of football they played as it was the kind of excitement the community had about the team. The radio guy was hyping it up big-time driving in. Said it was the biggest game there in 25 years. A hotel by the bypass had "FEEL THE FREEZE" painted on the window. That sort of stuff.

With a few days of reflection, commentary on Tuesday’s Internet outage.

 

It is approximately 2 p.m. on Tuesday when I notice the Internet connection at the Student Media Center is down. I ask the newsroom, and learn that this is a campus-wide problem.

“Let me tweet that,” I say. Of course, I then remember I’m in the Dark Ages with my cell phone and the Internet is down, so I scratch that idea.

Thirty minutes later, I get the RebAlert letting me know that the problem is with AT&T in Jackson.
