GC was huge back in GA when I was swimming in HS. Man, we used go to Shoney's with their weak ass buffet bar until GC came in and after that is was OVER. I haven't seen a Shoney's in like 15 years.

Ain’t been to a shoneys in years. You right, they did have that struggle buffet. I take that back, I went to a shoneys last year when I took my fam to Orlando. Felt good to do what my pop used to do when I was a kid, and pay for the entire fam at one of those spots (shoneys ain’t too expensive )

They had a few shoneys out there, and I know they have one in Dalton GA.

I love it and honestly I am shocked as hell that MVSU got such a long thread going. I figured Hampton, NC A&T, etc. would be long but MVSU isn't that well known. It's great we have so many folks dropping knowledge and stories. Highlighting the 'other' non top 10 HBCUs was one of the main reasons I wanted to do this thread.

Yea, man. I plan on taking part in all these threads; especially the Mississippi and NC ones. I plan to talk a little sh*t in the NCCU thread, but it’ll be mostly good.

Keep these threads coming.

Them overnight trips when we went to Florida, North Carolina or Louisiana we’d go to GC & they’d give everyone $10 to last 2 days

We’d tell the directors we can’t do shyt with $10 & he’d hit the Gucci & say “make it work”

$10 to last two entire days breh they didn’t give a shyt about yall.



Even those 4 for 4 deals going to run about 5 bucks and change or 6 bucks when they add the tax back in.

MVSU is in the MS blues area, it's a legit part of the areas culture so it's only right
