    Since its slow time of year, how about campus updates including Dorman:

    For those of us not up to date... Can someone give a brief update on Architecture and Art & Design moving to Hunter Henry? If that's what's happening (it was mentioned in passing). Also, where is the alumni association office now, if not there? Finally, are there plans to update the exterior...

    Euro 2024 starts Friday

    Man City is the Alabama of the EPL. Untouchable. (Miss State is Everton…) Man City is now suing the EPL. That will keep any potential sanctions tied up for a few more years, I’m afraid. But, I doubt they’ll ever face punishment. Sheiks don’t like rules, unless they get to make them. And they...

    OT video of bridge collapse in Baltimore

    A structural engineer on some news show said this bridge was completed in 1977. When it was built, it could have taken a direct hit from a standard container ship of the time, most likely. However, in the last 25 years, container ships have almost doubled in size (like this one) and carry...

    Just Imagine if we had Vic rolling with Jessica Carter, Madison Booker and Rickea Jackson

    Serious question: Can someone finally tell me what actually happened with Vic leaving? And what John and Nelle Cohen had to do with it? I’ve only seen the veiled statements on here over the years. (I live far from Vegas now and don’t get as much gossip as I used to.)

    NFL close to deal with ESPN.

    Whatever was left of ESPN’s appearance of journalistic independence re: the NFL is over if this goes through. They’ll just be the NFL’s hype man. Wonder what Fox, CBS and NBC will have to say about this deal, after spending $100s of millions for media rights.

    Mississippi Braves...

    I’ve heard multiple times from people in the Pearl city leadership (who weren’t around when this deal was signed) that the stadium, outlet mall and all of the development in that complex was a horrible boondoggle - and has saddled the city with enormous debt for decades to come. The revenue...

    Baylor's new basketball arena...

    I think it looks nice. Smart of them not to over-build, capacity-wise. (As has been discussed here, attendance isn’t what it used to be.)

    Can someone please throw out a coaching hire rumor?

    Not a rumor, but has Todd Monken been mentioned? Would he leave the Ravens for the MSU job? (We'd probably have to wait until after the playoffs, but a small price to pay.) He has prior experience in the state and as a HC (USM). I hadn't seen him mentioned for any jobs, but after what he did...

    If your Plan A coach doesn't get the job

    B. Biff Poggi, Charlotte C. Biff Poggi, Charlotte . . . Z. Biff Poggi, Charlotte

    So who broke the Arnett firing news?

    I first heard it on SEC Network this morning - and they quoted Ross Dellenger as their source.

    MHSAA 7A Playoffs are Set

    Why doesn’t the top seed get home field advantage thru the entire MHSAA playoffs? That seems asinine. Shouldn’t the #1 team be rewarded? I heard years ago that smaller schools out-voted the traditional powers so that they could have some home playoff games (and that “gate”), even if they’re a...

    Biggest "What ifs"

    - Someone could do a whole list of baseball signees who went pro (Jay Bell, Austin Riley come to mind) - AJ Brown could have been huge weapon in 2017-2018 - Chris Jackson had his choices down to MSU and LSU A reverse what-if where reality worked in our favor... MSU recruited Othella Harrington...

    Dabo on his call in show tonight…

    Not a Dabo fan. He gives off a lot of Southern Baptist Youth Minister energy. A little too sanctimonious and serious about things that aren’t that serious or worth that much reverence. Plus, he’s making a lot of money - stop being so thin-skinned when people aren’t worshipping you.

    Montez Sweat to the Bears

    I heard Sweat serves as his own agent.

    What does the Pack think about

    What about Tulane’s coach? Thats my favorite right now. Think he’d be a good fit at MSU/Starkville.
