I did. I didn't realize it was that lopsided either. I figured it would have been a little more even like y'alls history with Laurel.

Go look at the overall series history. Look at our record in Ray Stadium. Its terrible

@VottI didn't realize y'alls win over Meridian last year was the first one in 23 years. Things might be a little bit tighter this time.

Maybe bring out the steam locomotives and Pullman cars. Can't hurt.

Old Big 8 Rivalry. Keep the passenger trains running for this one, just like in the old days.

It’s hard to argue otherwise, but Golding probably deserves credit for keeping the offense similar-ish and not reinventing the wheel. Not saying these guys are on the same level as Chambliss but I recall Nick Fitzgerald and Will Rogers’ final years at State, both with new play callers, and it didn’t go well for either one. It is definitely possible to mess up a good thing and it appears that Ole Miss to this point hasn’t messed up a good thing.

This is going to be a good one. Emotions will be riding high for both teams. Kinda like LSU/ Ole Miss but without all the hate. LOL

In other news Tupelo made a very quality Oxford team look mediocre. Tupelo D is amazing to watch.

Shocked that West Harrison drummed them

I’m sure several will disagree, but I think the success OM has had during the stretch Golding has been the head coach is mostly the result of Chambliss instead of Golding. Take Chambliss off that team and they’re only winning two of those. Unless you want to credit Golding for keeping Chambliss at OM this year. lol.

MAIS went back to 4 classes so they may end up in Class 3 A vs 4 A.

I think it had something to do with making the private schools play up in classification.

Why would they wanna go back? They have proven to be very good in the MHSAA and they do have less travel which was pretty much their reason for leaving MAIS because of all the road trips to the Jackson area

You didn’t watch Gulfport move the ball effortlessly most of the night then turn the ball over once they got in the red zone?

Florida also made it into the polls today. 6 of Golding's first 7 games as a head coach will be vs ranked teams, that has to be a record? 3 of those top 10 teams with a 2-1 record vs top 10 and 2-0 vs 11-25 teams in the first 6.

I also started thinking all these schools may have truthful and turned in the numbers with multiplier already included. Therefore we see the posted numbers as being correct. Or maybe the association actually adds the multiplier in before approving the numbers.

I wouldn't be surprised.

I heard PCS was going back to MAIS. Maybe that’s not true, just what I heard rumored.

State sneaks into the AP Poll at number 24. First time ranked since the end of 2022. So it will be a ranked vs ranked matchup between State and Mizzou next week. I hope someone reminds Lebby of Drinkwitz’s antics at the end of the game in Starkville two years ago and if State’s offense is humming that he shows no mercy. Certainly a game Mizzou could still win but I think most State fans probably feel pretty good about their chances at home. I believe State is currently the betting favorite in that game.

Should have been 183 according to last years 8-10 grade numbers. Maybe everyone school is either turning in lower numbers for whatever reason. If that is the case then who knows how the Regions will end up being. If PCS, St Stanislaus, and St Patrick go 4A then Region 8 3A may end up being Tylertown, West Marion, Seminary, JDC, and either Raleigh or Magee.

Mize turned in 174. Solid 2A

Any more rumors especially the south. Right now I am looking at 16 3A schools in the south. I am adding Clarkdale, Sacred Heart(multiplier), and Lake. It's possible Mendenhall and Richland may drop to 3A. That's 13 schools sitting close to Region 5 and 6. 1 is probably going replace St Andrew's moving up because of the multiplier. Quite possibly Seminary and JDC move to Region 8. Quite possibly 1 moves north or 1 moves from north to South aka Noxubee, Louisville, or Yazoo County.

Wow. I was surprised they made that big of a jump. However, Indiana and Miami haven’t had any decent matchups yet, and OM already has 2 top 25 wins. I really thought Chambliss may take a step back this year with all the focus on him and the HC/OC gone, but he is just a playmaker. Very good passing from the pocket and great when he’s on the move.

You clearly didn’t watch the game.
