Allison Taylor ^^l The oldest continuously published newspaper in Bulloch County Thursday, November 19,1998 News Editor Opi n i on s Our Opinion Happy Thanksgiving With the Thanksgiving holiday next week, this will be the last paper until December 3. We advise everyone to return back to the 'Boro on Saturday, November 28 for the first round of I-AA play-off action at Paulson Sta- dium. We may not know who the football team is playing yet, but we know that they can beat anyone with enough Eagle fans in the stands. While making the drive home and back, remember to be careful. It is a very busy time of year, with many drivers on the roads in a hurry to get home for turkey and all the fixings. Take your time. We are sure your families would rather have you home late than to not ever have you home at all. So, wear your seatbelts, drive relatively close to the speed limit and pay close attention to the morons who are driving next to you. Enjoy the holidays and take some time to reflect on all you have to be thankful for, like a #1 ranked football team. Spend some time studying for finals before they creep thM-% up on you and take plenty of time to enjoy your stay at Ailikh home. 7 For all those who cannot go home, find something to do.

What's wrong with Bandwagoning?
A GSU student came up to me earlier in the football sea- son and asked, "Did you see what a great game we played? ...we're going to go all the way!"
