    Starkville people…..

    Bingo. Starbucks (any most nationwide coffee chains) are pure garbage when it comes to straight black coffee. Like mentioned already, give me a QT coffee or any gas station that brews Community.

    Starkville people…..

    There aren't any Publix's west of Alabama. It's a regional chain. Don't appear to be any Dutch Bros east of Texas. Not just a Mississippi thing.

    Feeding opposing players in LFL

    I'd rather be known for being absolutely inhospitable to opposing teams in that they fear playing at Dudy Noble. I'd rather be notorious for that. i.e. Saturday Night in Death Valley type stuff.

    Music

    Didn't realize Marcus King dropped a new one, thanks for the rec. I'm still wearing out Turnpike's album from last year. It's just so good.

    Starkville Travel ball coach/umpire embarrassment

    It's a wonder how there were even enough youth baseball players to fill college/minor league rosters back in the pre-travel ball days**

    Starkville Travel ball coach/umpire embarrassment

    Sadly, you are right, but it doesn't have to be that way. It's been mentioned several times in this thread, but the bulk of most of these "daddy ball" travel teams and Single A/Double A travel teams are made up of borderline kids that would be good but not great if all kids played rec ball like...

    This is a pretty good primer on what's wrong with youth sports

    This is my issue. Money enters the picture and everything thinks they have to do travel ball in order to make high school team. All of a sudden, rec leagues are dying left and right because every kid moves to travel ball because "that's what you have to do to make the team". Next thing you...

    Pep-tides.....can't believe how many people trust this Instagram garbage.....

    I've seen people talking about it, but can someone give the Sixpack version of cliff notes of the different "types" of peptides?

    Playing off Lent thread, what religion are you?

    Spent 30 years only knowing the inside of a Southern Baptist church. The missus and I started attending a UMC church in the central MS area because we really appreciated the pastor (still do). This was in 2019ish. Then during COVID and right after all of the UMC split hit the fan and I had no...

    Playing off Lent thread, what religion are you?

    I agree. Denominations are a human construct, therefore they are imperfect and tainted. Personal preferences on worship styles and interpretations are just that.... preferences. That said, was raised southern baptist. Now attend a united methodist church.

    Some idiot is going to get put UNDER the federal prison.

    Why does my conspiracy-aligned brain think that this and the "Republican" outrage on HB2 failing are related?

    Starkville Characters

    Jeremiah was getting his start at being a staple of the cotton district when I was there in late 2000s. At that time, he'd frequently set up shop at a standing table upstairs in Mugshots with a laptop, some headphones, and he'd play like he was the DJ.

    Joe Max to Tate County…

    The issue with SW MS is the actual proximity to a metro area. Yes, Copiah County is close to Jxn, but the little bit of investment around the Jxn area is naturally going to go to Madison, Rankin, or a distant 3rd, Hinds. Madison County seems to be getting close to "capacity", and I'd imagine...
