It's 4 Quarters.

At Datamax, it's game day every day. But as the clock ticks down, as the fourth quarter wanes, it's all about finishing 2018 strong!

Letter on the Third.

Dear Datamax Family,

I’d like to open by wishing each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I always enjoy this time of the year, as we reflect on the past 12 months. We explore what was successful, what wasn’t, and prepare our plans for the New Year to continue our path of Creating Raving Fans.

4th_Quarter_Datamax_2018.jpg

It's 4th & 25.

You think it's over? Ole Miss sure did in 2015. 

Then came the "Hog and Ladder." On fourth-and-25 in overtime, the Razorbacks needed a conversion to keep victory hopes alive. After a 15-ish yard pass, Hunter Henry desperately heaved the ball backward, the ball bounced over to running back Alex Collins, and Collins made a mad dash to the first down marker. That miraculous, unlikely conversion set up the game-winning touchdown for  the University of Arkansas. Ole Miss fans were STUNNED. 

It's fourth down, and just 25 days left in the final Quarter at Datamax in 2018. For those of you who might think it's over (like the Ole Miss coaches) ... It's not!
