The tone of this article seemed a bit passionately braggadocious. The original claim of "one of the winningest football teams in the NCAA" made it sound as though it was on the level of the Alabamas, Michigans and USCs of college football. The fact that this statement is now accompanied by "ranked 31st overall" is a bit more honest. I'm just sayin'! Lrgjr72

Point well taken. I will say, however, that your comments seem a bit self-rightous. Your version was no more constructive than any other (mine or otherwise). The few items in such a basic article needing source confirmation had it already (i.e., census data). In addition, the original version of this article sounded like a Southaven pep-rally written by the local chamber of commerce. I was merely trying to tone it down to a theme with universally accepted facts.
