    The story of Vic Shaefer and MSU.

    How many times have you seen an average looking, middle class guy marry a nice, average looking, hometown girl from another state? He moves to her hometown, and settles down to a happy life. During the early years of the marriage, they struggle a bit. Their love for one another gets them...

    Purely hypothetical question here

    If we lose to UF, we are in danger of heading into a free fall and losing to Auburn, LSU, and A&M. If that happened, our team (and fandom) confidence would be so low, that we could end up 5-7, or worse, by winning only 2 of 3 against La Tech, Arkansas, and the Rebel Bear Sharks. I really...

    I hate to say it.. Mullen would have won tonight

    Suppose your wife that was loving and faithful to you for ten years leaves you for a better looking man that has more money. Would you welcome her with open arms when she shows up at your house to show off her new boyfriend and his money or are you going to tell her to go 17 herself?

    The redshirt rule passed

    I cannot speak for other universities, but I found that with my child (a recent graduate), MSU manipulates the system such that a student is unlikely to finish in 4 years unless the student also goes to summer school. Bottom line, MSU games the system to make sure students spend more money...

    Tom Mars FAILS AGAIN

    I am also wondering if the wins they must vacate is tied up in the appeal. It seems like that they would have had plenty of time since December to determine which wins they must vacate. My hope is that the Alabama wins and the egg bowl wins will be among those wins vacated.

    OT: GrassSeed

    Depending upon where you are in Mississippi, it is a high probability you will need a heavy application of lime if you are planting where trees once were. Soils throughout much of North and Central Mississippi have a low pH which means lime is needed. Nonetheless, another responder gave you...

    Has list of vacated wins for bears been released?

    I was aware that it does not mean the other team won. However, it would be a small victory in my mind for the bears to not be able to claim victories over Bama and others if those are some of the vacated wins. Since the NCAA failed in its job and basically let them off with a mild warning, at...

    Has list of vacated wins for bears been released?

    Has anyone seen a list yet of the football wins that TSUN must vacate per the NCAA penalties released in December? Or are the potential vacated wins also tied up in the appeal process? GTHOM

    Jackie Wayne Sherrill Appreciation Thread

    I agree with the premise. Say what you want, but it was JWS's work that made us matter in football. Prior to Jackie, MSU football did not matter. We played in a run-down, tiny stadium and seldom drew much of a crowd. The television networks hated putting us on TV but had to occasionally...

    I've never been more excited over a coaching hire

    The reason you don't remember it is because you would have to be over 61 years old to do so. The last time an MSU football coach left on his own accord was when Darrell Royal headed to the University of Texas in December 1956.

    Personal Use of State Issued Cell Phones

    You are correct, but he could only reimburse them for an accidental use. He could not continue to use it as he pleased for personal use and then reimburse the personal calls. The state auditor will allow a public official or employee to reimburse the state for occasional small indiscretions...

    Personal Use of State Issued Cell Phones

    There is no such allowance for incidental personal use of cell phones. The attorney general has issued no opinions on incidental personal use of cell phones. See http://www.ago.state.ms.us/ag-opinions-database/

    Personal Use of State Issued Cell Phones

    No personal use of state-owned cell phones is allowed per Mississippi Code Section 25-53-191. Additionally, state agencies (which IHL is included in the definition in the code section), the agency must obtain and maintain detailed billing and monitor for compliance of this section. Some...
