Welcome to the Bonyard with Steve Robertson.

As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Maroon Friday edition of the yard, the Black Friday edition of the yard.

Hope you are well wherever you are today.

It is Egg Bowl Eve, and so we're going to spend a lot of time talking about the matchup between Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

It's a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to the game.

There were a couple weeks ago that maybe most of us were kind of dreading this game. I'm actually looking forward to it now. So we'll see how things go. Wherever you are today, I hope it's a payday for you. It is a Friday. So for you bi-weekly wage runners and weekly wage earners should be the day. If you can pay the last working day of the month,

could be the day.

I don't know.

But I hope that you had the funds to get out and go have some fun this weekend with those you love.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving day.

We did here, I tell you, we had a few people here, had the kids home,

had the grandbaby here for her first Thanksgiving.

It's amazing what that does to you as a

parent to see your child have a child it they don't stay long enough you can't do enough for them

you go broke trying to take care of uh every little thing they want and need but yeah it's a different

dynamic entirely when you become a grandparent. It is a different deal, to say the least. I think it makes you love your kids, that much more, too, because you know how much fun they're having, you know, the experience yourself. And I know for us, it was a great time. I hope that you all had a chance to be with those you loved the most. I know many people were unable to do that. I don't listen to the show. Contacted me and said, hey, you know, what, Steve? We're not getting together this year. You know, we've had some people in the family that have been COVID positive. We've got some other people that are a little bit vulnerable, and so we're just kind of playing it safe and didn't get a chance to get together the way they had hoped. And, you know, unfortunately, that's kind of part of the deal.

So maybe next year. Maybe we can have some normalcy next year. You know, who knows? But again,

uncertain times with which we are living in, but even if we can't get together and break bread and that sort of stuff,

there's nothing to stop us from reaching out and telling each other that we love each other.

And I made it a point yesterday to call all of my siblings and tell them that, tell them that,

tell them that I love them. And I had my brother and his wife here but I've got four
