    OT: What would have to happen for a new medical school to be created?

    My initial thoughts were exactly this. More $ for MSU if we had the program, but genuinely, what could that mean for north MS? Decades ago someone decided to create various programs in various colleges. What would have to happen to start a movement to do that again for a new med school?

    OT: What would have to happen for a new medical school to be created?

    Yeah, that's right. I'm not even sure the size of that program or if it's even on the same tier as the MD program at UMMC and would be considered in the same breath. Regardless there's one MD program in the state. Any benefit to having another one?

    OT: What would have to happen for a new medical school to be created?

    Had a random conversation with my wife while driving through campus today. There are only two med schools in the state. What would have to happen for an additional one to be created? Obviously besides a 17load of money, what else would it take? Any potential benefit to having an additional one?

    Neyland Stadium

    In Knoxville this week. Growing up in the 90s I always thought of UT being one of the elites in SEC. Always thought Neyland Stadium was the best in the league. Laid eyes on it for the first time while walking around campus. Kind of a dump in my opinion. Super underwhelmed. The campus is okay but...

    OT: Any Small Town Drama

    Lady in my hometown just got attacked by a few pit bulls on her morning run. Almost killed her. Now there's a huge argument on Facebook. One group saying all pit bulls should be illegal and the other group suggesting maybe she was trespassing and that led to the dogs attacking her and it wasn't...

    It's a girl! I'm a big sports fan obviously and also big into hunting and fishing so part of me was wanting a boy, but I honestly can not wait to take that little girl fishing or whatever she becomes interested in. We're 4 weeks away and can't wait to meet her!

    I've done several butts and a couple briskets. Kept it basic though. Just wondering how everyone else likes to cook them. Plan is to vacuum seal a bunch of food for those evenings when we're dead tired and don't want to cook.

    1st time Father

    Hey SPS. Longtime reader, first time poster. In a few weeks, my wife and I will be having our first child. My company has a new parental leave policy that is really awesome for the dads(new age equality = not so bad). Anyways, I'm thinking my wife wouldn't be too big of a fan of me taking...
