College Gameday is almost unwatchable nowadays between the blatant agenda pushing and whatever the heck you want to call Pat McAfee’s shtick.

I can't imagine any will be looking to join with the new multiplier. The association was very short sighted when they told the river parochial schools they couldn't have athletes from across the border. It's not like Cathedra, St. Al, or Greenville St. Joe's were powerhouse programs and teams year in and year out in most sports. Like most things (7 classes....) a few coaches and admins got their boxers in a twist and leadership reacted.

You are correct sir. I'd agree whole-heartedly if the MHSAA came out and said you can not schedule MAIS teams if you are MHSAA

Well fans definitely know what they are talking about, so Picayune’s coaching staff needs to listen to them and do exactly what the fans say they need to be doing.

I don’t think you understand lol … John Curtis is one of the premier programs in Louisiana they aren’t a “might give Louisville a game” type of team.

Don’t let your friend from McComb eat any Zebra Cakes lol

Suspend the two coaches that got it started.

Its a good thing you should never really pay attention to how you did vs an opponent and then what that opponent did vs someone else. Hattiesburg loses by one to Petal. ( who we had beaten when we fumbled running out the clock) Then Petal beats Gulfport. Which you could say makes Hattiesburg better than Gulfport. And then Hattiesburg gets 40 pieced by Meridian. In that sense would make Meridian be way better than Petal and Gulfport. LOL

And it took us OT to beat Biloxi. I reckon we are slightly less pathetic LOL.

You tell Leroy Robinson I will buy him a shrimp po boy if we ever crossed paths, Man hustled to make it through the game.

Enterprise is very solid. Way better than last season.

I am not sure what to make of Kentucky yet. They were the toast of the town after beating A&M but we now know that A&M might just stink.

Go back to 5 classifications!

The guy who directed each TD drive in the win vs Heidelberg while the veteran senior QB who had put in his weight room time started and got 90% of the snaps? Imagine that, I'm surprised he didn't enroll elsewhere this season

It went downhill years ago once Corso’s health started to decline and once Herbstreit revealed his true colors. But McAfee took it a big step in the wrong direction. Another little thing but I think Chris Fowler was better as the host than Rece Davis is. I generally like Rece though, mostly nostalgia from the old College Football Final days of him, Holtz, and Mark May, where it could go totally off the rails at times but was always good TV to watch late on a Saturday night or early on a Sunday morning while you’re getting ready for church. lol.

That and they make you leave the stadium and go back to your vehicle. At least if there's no issues of bad weather on Thursday, they get the game in which is what is important.

Long Beach is on their own also. The kicker down here will always be the money/casino divide. The cities get a larger portion than the county schools according to how many are in their district. Long Beach has none so they don't receive any of that money. Jackson county has the same divide with Chevron/Ingalls. Pascagoula/Gautier gets all of that money. It will be hard to explain rolling 4A and 5A schools into districts that are already made up 6A/7A schools as cost savings. School Boards will have to expand and the Supt spot for that district would likely just become an asst under the new organization with the main Supt likely getting a pay raise. OS already has some of the highest paid Admins in the state while being on the lower end of teacher and supplement pay. Not to mention the highest cartags in the state funding the district while they constantly cry of being broke.

casino money from Tunica is no more.

The pockets being lines IS about the main reason to do it. That is a lot of payroll the state could cut out forcing consolidations. If the casino tax money that was supposed to help fund education actually went towards education we wouldn’t be in such a money bind.

As a native of Northeast MS, they are a section of the state that has resisted consolidation. Falkner and Walnut merging into North Tippah has been a civil war and they are only 8 miles apart with very similar student bodies. I agree there is a lot of school consolidation that "should" take place but local boards often don't want to make the tough calls for political reasons. Some of these small schools are due to being in separate districts and that's always been my bigger issue. Thrasher HS and Booneville HS are 5.5 miles apart but in different districts. Wheeler is 6 miles from Baldwyn but again, different districts. Hatley and Amory are about 5 miles apart as well but different districts. Unless district consolidation happens, there won't be any movement on those fronts. That's just a small sample, but indicative of a larger issue.

I agree with your top 4.

The pipeline hasn't dried up we have a senior rb who had about 3,000 yards last year and 2 or 3 more good ones. Oline is just getting blown up at line of scrimmage because the defenses are bringing the heat every play with 8 or 9 in the box plus our qbs are green behind the ears that doesn't help. The thing I know that would be different with Dodd is this team would be way more disciplined and play more as a team plus he would be calling the offense and making adjustments. We are having a down year because we are getting killed in trenches that's why everyone is saying we need to adjust to it instead of doing the same old thing over and over that doesn't work.

Another impressive win for State coming from behind after leading 14-0. Those are games in the past State would have been on the wrong end of. Taylor with 360 yards passing. State struggled on the lines for the first time this year, but made plays when it counted.

I've heard that Belmont may be on the fringe of 2A, Baldwyn 1A and Booneville 4A.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the state step in and force the consolidation of Mount Olive and Collins. If not this year then possibly in the next re-class. It’s badly needed.

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.

Third quarter was very bad for Ole Miss, at the end of the day very big win.

Gport had 5 turnovers and still put up 39pts. Thats almost unheard of

There is a certain arrogance in Ocean Springs that many, many residents have. There have been many incidents I have heard of dealing with bullying that never results in real consequences. It typically just ends with a meeting and it is over to the school. However, many times it continues to happen and the school pretends it is not going on anymore. There have been a few suicides sadly of students in the district over the past few years linked directly to bullying. Full disclosure, I do not really enjoy living here, and did not want to move here. However, "Happy Wife, Happy Life". LOL. It is a beautiful city, and I get why people would want to move here. However, to me, it is a fake aura that I am not overly enthused about.

OS has bullying problems as well. I can speak to this on a personal level.

I wonder does our illustrious Sept of Education have detailed plan on how to combat this? He has been quoted many times saying how he believes public Ed is superior to private school Ed or home schooling. Maybe his salary should decrease on a % basis of how many students depart public schools.

I am 99% sure this is just shenanigans by Kiffin.

You ain’t gotta apologize. I was hoping you would have played along LOL. I’m glad you were able to make a pick, because I honestly think it could go either way. If the Biloxi game last week was the so called “get the monkey off the back” game for Picayune, I understand why you would make that pick. I just want to see Picayune start to build. I mean Gulfport and JA left them with enough rubble and mortar to do so.

I agree with this. Shannon would beat Aberdeen. Shannon has the ability to play with anyone. Consistently winning takes time and commitment. West Point, Louisville, Picayune, Poplarville, weren't built in one year it took consistent commitment to the kids and the program in order to be successful. There have been many "right" hires to maintain expectations of excellence. It takes a community coming together for their kids and pushing administration towards providing resources for the children and pushing staff members to work towards learning and growing. Tony Evans has one of my favorite quotes, "either you hate change enough to lose or you hate losing enough to change which is it?"

Probably. I would too, but I'll be there this Friday Vott.

Wedgeworth can sling it and Hancock can score. They just need to clean up the penalties and find some defense somewhere. I can see the 42-35 score favoring St. Martin, but I don't think either team will be able to stop each other offensively. The scoring might even be higher, like a 56-49 type ballgame.

Interesting that State-SCAR has moved up the totem pole of importance. Both teams will be looking to use this game as a springboard to success in the Conference.

Oak Grove played Germantown… I don’t watch everyone but I do pay attention to most of the contenders. But to your point, it’s hard to take an opinion serious if you don’t actually know much about other teams outside of your own.

I want Louisville to win as well. But John Curtis does not have 1,000 kids in their high school. Maybe 1,000 k-12. Louisville has a much higher enrollment than JC, I can assure you of that. Now JC recruits like crazy so the numbers don’t mean anything.

Biggersville is 1A and Tish County is 4A but it just shows why Biggersville Coach left after last year. Tishomingo isn't very good just wait and see how they do with teams like Kossuth who is down this year, Belmont, North Pontotoc, New Albany and Corinth. Tish will probably at least beat South Pontotoc and make the playoffs.

If Picayune had lost a couple of close games to both Gulfport and JA, the sentiment would be different. I would agree with you that Picayune would be just fine if that had happened. Maybe they will be, but what happens when they face a championship caliber 6A team? These are just questions that I ask myself. I don't answer them, but I kind of look at it as food for thought.

This type game will be major pre for teams like Kosy, who they'll probably see twice and also Poplarville who is my pick to make the final from the south.

Baldwyn lost a key player recently and now has legal issues and won't be returning so they have some internal turmoil similar to what Grenada had last season.

Who cares about your lil emojis if we lose! It wont be the end of the season if we lose! This just a big non district test to get us prepared for 4A! One thang bout Louisville we dont schedule cupcakes we want the best of the best! I can guarantee u the Wildcats gone come to play with anybody! Who tf your team is since u got so much to say

I’m from Louisville. I’ve watched JC…. With that being said, expect a low scoring game…. No more than 28-30 pts scored Total!

East Webster is one of the best teams in 2A. I do agree giving up that many points to Vardaman is concerning, but I believe they are still the favorite in their district and should make a run in the playoffs. Only team I could see challenging them maybe is Ethel unless Noxapater or Sebastopol is better than they appear to be.

Didn’t see that coming. That could be a rematch for the 1A state championship.

Excited to get back to Starkville tomorrow. Setting the over/under at 5 for how many trips to the concession stand my 4 year old requests. Lol.

If it’s someone like Trinidad, load your weapons SEC we’re going to war. But this is over a 2nd string TE and an undrafted DT. It’s not worth losing a conference membership over

This isn’t the first time Buddy’s voiced an opinion in such a manner. There had to be some other tension between him and whoever had the ability to fire him
