    Starkville High will be built on MSU campus

    Yes, there is no more "reading" at the younger levels in the form of books, etc.. They read and study the exact passages that will be on the State testing. That way when they are taking the State test, it is not the first time they are seeing the passage. Again, glad we are playing the game...

    Starkville High will be built on MSU campus

    The dirty secret across MS (The Mississippi Miracle) is that they simply started teaching the test. This is not Starkville specific, but for any of you thinking that MS public education improved overnight.... you might as well fly to work on your pet dragon. For instance, they teach the exact...

    Starkville High will be built on MSU campus

    Correct, this is simply a new building (that is needed) but will do nothing to correct the recruiting issues we have with our local school system. Sadly, you will still have a student population that is almost 80% free/reduced lunch eligible and that translates to home lives that do not care...

    MHSAA listens to me, passes multiplier for private schools

    No need to start the private kills public crap. In 99% of cases, you could move the entire private school into the public district and it would not account for 2% of student population. That isn't enough to make any difference other than a few more kids in the 30+ ACT club. Everyone has...

    MHSAA listens to me, passes multiplier for private schools

    The bottom portion is exactly what I have seen in the private vs public football games. The public school will have FAR better athletes, but the private plays MUCH better as a team.

    MHSAA listens to me, passes multiplier for private schools

    Adding to this with some direct knowledge..... MHSAA does not want the private schools, and it isn't just about the multiplier. I know of several private schools that have looked to jump and would be fine with a multiplier (previously 1.3). In every case, MHSAA told them they would be in the...

    Foley Field compared to the Dude

    They should also be embarrassed at it being turf. SEC should make a rule that this is not 9u travel ball and all schools will have grass/dirt.

    It is rare to come across someone who has reached their full potential, but I believe you have done it!

    With the forecast, I wouldn't plan on anything being on time.

    Out of Bounds

    The funniest thing to me in all of this is the "fairness" argument that some trot out. In what world is carving out districts specifically so you have someone of a certain race elected considered fair? Also, the NAACP is a joke on this one. South Carolina has a black Senator that the NAACP...

    OT: GTR airport

    I fly out of GTR 3 to 4 times per month. Are there delays sometimes, absolutely. You'll find more delays elsewhere for sure, you just don't have any other options out of GTR when it becomes a long delay. Overall, GTR is a great experience and very convenient
