Travel: Maroon Band takes the field 2026-11-12 - Starkville, MS - Photo by Trey Stephens. The Famous Maroon Band took the field as they prepared to welcome the Mississippi State Bulldogs for their matchup against the Vanderbilt Commodores for the game on November 7, 2026. The band shapes the run out for the Bulldogs as they come onto the field at Davis Wade Stadium, the 60,000 capacity venue that hosts the home games for Mississippi State. Davis Wade was originally built as New Athletic Field in 1914, making it the second oldest home stadium in NCAA division one FBS. Davis Wade and Mississippi State are famous for ringing cowbells throughout the game, and there was certainly no shortage of Cowbell ringing during my time at Davis Wade.

Scenic Russell County, KY - Ginkgo biloba tree 2026-11-12 - Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The yellow Ginkgo biloba tree is a showstopper in fall. It's also known as the Maidenhair tree. Wikipedia tells us, "Ginkgo trees are living fossils that have not changed for almost 200 million years. This tree grows almost anywhere, in both hot and cold zones, and it copes well in punishing conditions; from urban environments full of air pollution, to bad soil conditions, and even poor watering conditions, yet it still thrives."
