Todd graduated from Mississippi State with a degree in Business Management and then began a Master's degree in Leadership and Counselor Education. He started grad school at State, then journeyed into enemy territory&mdash;Oxford, the University of Mississippi&mdash;to finish. During that first fateful year, Todd met his match (in so many ways!), and the future mother of his children, Melissa Beck, who was a freshman (and a <strong>young</strong> freshman at that). One of the many perks of dating Todd for Melissa was "getting" to be the subject of Todd's "counseling" projects. Another was the mad culinary skills with which he wowed/wooed her on many occasions. Melissa remembers one meal in particular that went something like this: 4 slices of pasty white bread, two pieces of processed round turkey, mustard and a bag of Golden Flake potato chips. Voila—lunch!

While at Ole Miss, Todd drummed for the aptly named Identity Crisis. A search of the archives turned up no evidence, photographic or audio, of Identity Crisis, but it's fairly certain that the band did in fact exist. It's not clear what else Todd did at Ole Miss. He probably went to class (more than during his undergrad days), and he certainly kept the road hot between Oxford and Starkville.
