    Might be from Munich, but MSU was announced to play in the Maui Invitational next year... Bruce Webber was fired as coach of Illinois today. Trend coming?

    anybody else have a FF team looking like a MASH unit?

    I drafted Jamaal Charles with my first pick (#2 overall), Stephen Jackson with my third pick, and Antonio Gates with my fourth pick. I may have scored the fewest points in the history of Yahoo! Fantasy Football this weekend.

    Brandon Maye

    I was told Maye was walking around campus in a boot (as in ankle sprain) last week. We may not have seen what he is really capable of just yet.

    Huh. B-Lo has put Relf #2 on his VIP list for the season... If he's not #1, who is?

    Huh. B-Lo has put Relf #2 on his VIP list for the season... If he's not #1, who is? If one or both of these guys plays well at LT, we have a very good year.

    Almost 88,000 Season Tickets sold between State and Ole Miss...

    Almost 88,000 Season Tickets sold between State and Ole Miss...

    I wouldn't swear to this, but I seem to remember hearing/reading that the Starkville delegation played the various areas of the state against each other, including lying to each and swearing allegiance to them, if they would provide allegiance in return. Something like, "We want it in...

    Almost 88,000 Season Tickets sold between State and Ole Miss...

    I'll give a short version, which is still longer than almost all of you will want to read. (It is <span style="text-decoration:underline">your</span> university, though!) The Morrill Land Grant Act was passed in 1862 (yep, 150th anniversary next year), during the Civil War. Mississippi, being...

    Username origins......per Meoff's request!

    I don't post much, but read the board often. My favorite username is Ptolemy, after our first English Bulldog mascot, but someone already had that name. I started to go with Theo, but I'm not dyslexic. I am an ag guy--B.S. in 1985, Ph.D. in 1991 and professor at MSU. I picked Cully Cobb because...

    My first post... take it easy if I screw up

    Bill Arnold was #16 and a co-captain of that team. He died in 1983, I believe.

    Monday Morning QB- Georgia edition

    Did anyone else notice the number of times we took KJ Wright out of the game on passing downs? He is obviously an instinctive LB when it comes to the passing game (couldn't catch AIDS in a gay bar, though). I'd rather have him knocking passes down than have Chris White either 1) stand in one...

    On a more serious note

    I've had a couple to break over the years. I take a short, thick (maybe 3/8") bolt and put a nut on the end with loctite. After a few hundred rings, the part of bolt stickingout past the nut becomes so deformed it will never come off.
