    Pizza Hut is on its way out…….

    It did not. A few months at best. Doomed from the start with that name IMO. The Japanese place has been open since around October/November, so we'll see if they can stay open any longer than the previous occupants.

    Pizza Hut is on its way out…….

    No. In the last few years it's been a Mexican restaurant (that did a lot of updating to the building) then the Starkvegas Bar and Grill and now it's a Japanese steakhouse called O'Sake

    Wow sounds like Kiffin to LSU

    Not sure if things have changed in the last 20 or so minutes, but that plane is leaving Oxford for Gainesville, which is even wilder than back to BR.

    Another record enrollment, among other things.....

    First-time this year is just the freshmen. Last year was referring to new freshmen, transfers and grad students

    Another record enrollment, among other things.....

    Yea using that phrase is a bit vague. Made an edit to my original response, but we're up in both "first time" categories they've used.

    Another record enrollment, among other things.....

    This particular number is referring to first-time in college students from about 3600 to over 4000. Almost 6700 of the same first time students as last year, to compare apples to apples.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Mississippi State moved up in the US News rankings

    Not sure if 615 was being facetious or not, but we've moved up two years in a row, if ever so slightly, from 216->214->208

    Someone suggested in a group text this could be a land bridge...

    Those art buildings plans to the west of the bridge are already out of date. The university and foundation are doing a land swap so the foundation owns/will own those to have all that land to go with the hotel. There has been some utility work right on the edge of campus the last few weeks, with...

    Perry Cafeteria Renovation...

    They are closing those areas down from 6am-5pm for move in. Some offices are working from home, but I'll have a decent walk to mine all week. Also an FYI for anyone parking on football gamedays around the Hump and north end of campus, they're starting renovations to Howell Hall, so the old road...

    I’m hearing we are going to announce…..

    I am on campus 5 days a week year round and couldn't tell you the last time I saw anyone wearing a turban. Try again

    I’m hearing we are going to announce…..

    Not trying to burst your conspiracy theory bubble, but international students only make up about 4% of our students.

    SNL is unwatchable

    While I agree that it's not as funny as it was 25+ years ago, Dana Carvey and David Spade were literally in the cold open on last night's show.

    US News and World Report Rankings 2025

    The peer assessment is a big killer, along with our poor retention and graduation rate. But there are no students on campus with single digit ACT scores. We have the highest average ACT scores of incoming freshmen out of all Mississippi schools, which makes the retention and grad rate numbers...
