@Dubactionif y'all weren't in the equation, they'd have Brandon at #1. I just find it hilarious.

Well that's par for the course. They are sipping the Brandon Kool-Aid if that's any consolation to you.

I wasn't. Shame on me. Just don't run out of Ward's WIFI.

There's not really a whole lot you are going to learn from a Jamboree (maybe some initial looks), plus y'all were playing Hattiesburg. Not exactly a cupcake.

Join the club LOL.

I also like the Hattiesburg pick over Petal. That particular game is almost in a no pick territory, but with it being at D.I. Patrick it’s hard to pick against The Tigers.

Also the optics of what occurred in the Brandon/West Point jamboree probably didn’t help matters, but win or lose I want to see us play a clean football game from start to finish.

Oooh…the Jay Beech vs. Lance Mancuso matchup. That’s a top 5 matchup right there. Give me that one over Biggersville & Hamilton. That must be some small North MS teams or something that us South MS folks know nothing about.

You don’t have to put Brandon in bold. Dey ain’t da home team LOL!

From Yesterday: HCA 40 Pine Belt 16 Final

Thanks for the insight there. It’ll be interesting to see how Ocean Springs fares in that coastal region .

I know not to take much from that, but that’s an intriguing score.

Dang I was trying to pull that game up LOL

Go dot! Beat comma!

Maybe somebody with some MAIS expertise, but I don't have a clue who that could be. Might wanna trace the rumors you heard back to the source and then you can inform us all.

When you find your team and click on them it pulls up the schedule and also gives a win probability(%) and predicted score for each game.

I forgot about the dumb polka dot jerseys and clef tate helmets. Don't get me started on uniforms LOL.

State will probably be an underdog against Florida, but that's a game State should feel good about winning. Whether they do it or not is a whole different story.

I'm just surprised that it's not a regular season game for y'all. That Hattiesburg-Meridian game is an old rivalry game. The only decade y'all didn't face off was in the 1960s, but ya'll have faced off in every decade from the 1920s till now.

@Vottgot any thoughts about the Hattiesburg @ Meridian jamboree game? Should be a good one to see. Hopefully that turf won't be as bad in person.

I think if you can get to the 6 win regular season mark under Lebby by beating all of the non-conference teams and getting 2 wins from Florida and Arkansas, you can't feel bad about the coaching staff or direction of the program. I'm certainly not saying it will happen, but if he pulls off a surprise win somewhere along the way that would definitely put State ahead of schedule and let folks know that Lebby is the real deal. I think you would see the enthusiasm of the Mississippi State fanbase expand 10 fold if he pulls off an unexpected win. There's just a lot of unknowns with this Mississippi State football team and hopefully we will have some of those unknowns answered by the time we get to the Florida game.

It was well deserved. They were bigger, stronger, and faster. Getting a first on the field win against a team playing their first ever varsity football game isn’t something you see everyday. Definitely a neat experience watching it. There were also no goalposts either, so that’s another unique aspect of it.

If they can get the center to be more consistent with snapping the ball to the quarterback, they wouldn’t be behind the sticks so much. They also had a good bit of presnap penalties as well and there was just a whole lot of 2nd & 3rd Bogalusas that were too long to even think about converting. It’s a 17 man roster, so it’ll take some time for them to get better.
