Maybe I am a bad Tennessean for not knowing much of anything about Austin Peay. But in the name of continous improvement, I did a little research on Austin Peay and figured that the readers of this blog may also desire to be improved in such a fashion.
Austin Peay was a governor back in the 1920's of the state of Tennessee. He was a major backer of education and believed in providing a lot of support for the education system in Tennessee. He also helped change the tax system to get more revenus into the state government so that they could provide more roads and education, and other things of that nature.
He died while in office in 1927. They named a bridge after him, and a newly purchased university in Clarksville, that the Mocs will take on on the basketball floor tonight.
