    What about Butch?

    I see Mingione mentioned more than Butch lately, but it seems to me Butch has been at least as good with 1 more season, if not better. On second thought... maybe they're the same: Butch has 9+ seasons at Auburn (312-225; 115-143. 5 Regionals. 3 Supers. 2 CWS. Missed Regionals 4 times) Nick has...

    Starkville

    I just searched the internet, lo and behold, there is a proposal before the County Supervisors to sell the OCH. A sale has been proposed in recent past but failed because local politics was afraid private leadership would eliminate the nepotism. If the right buyer were to take over, this would...

    Starkville

    The mayor should be leading the charge, but don't underestimate the Board of Supervisors and the School Board. The Supervisors have more power than the Mayor. See my comments above about the Hospital Board (appointed by the Supervisors). A hospital board should be comprised of brilliant leaders...

    Starkville

    2 problems holding Starkville back: -Schools -The hospital Both are mediocre at best. Both are political. When businesses are looking to invest in a community, schools is one of the main things they look at. Good schools bring more industry which bring more working age adults which...

    Is it even possible to stay sober? And to not party?

    Looks like everybody is different. Some handle alcohol with no issues. Some handle it with repercussions of various severity. Some can't handle it. Now, let's do women.

    Is it even possible to stay sober? And to not party?

    I drank "to excess" less than 5 times in my life; all in my youth. Just didn't care for it. I was active in a fraternity at MSU (Old Row). Lived in the fraternity house sophomore year. Went to all the parties. Had a blast. In my adulthood, I ran with the same crowd as then. Several times, I...

    OT: Memphis

    Parking is easy. Several lots across the street on the South side. Know what you're doing if you go with AirBnB!

    Low profile baseball m over s fitted

    I got one in the Lodge a few years ago. Their official Adidas caps used to be different fits, but they didn't show anything different on the tags. I just went through my size, trying them on. Some were deep, some not.

    Jackson, you're number 1

    The difference is political. Jackson residents can escape too Rankin and Madison Counties without too much disruption in their lives. Rankin and Madison residents are protected from Jackson/Hinds by their City and County governments including their police and sheriffs. These other cities don't...

    Ask the Pack: Looking up Service Records of relatives

    I submitted a request online for my grandmother's brother who served in the 3ID 1943-1945 (MSU class of 1949!). Months later, I received a letter from National Personnel Records Center, National Archives. They referenced the fire on July 12, 1973 and said it destroyed most records of Army...

    Health Insurance Costs

    BlueCare Individual with BCBS of Mississippi has been the only company offering "major medical" in Mississippi. There are a lot of "medi-share" plans and MEC plans (minimum essential coverage) out there, but read the fine print. Caveat Emptor. BCBS only takes individuals (and families) during...

    First time for firing a BB coach?

    I always heard he got a minor league offer and left, or they would've stuck with him another year or three.

    There seem to be a lot of STL Cards fans on here...why?

    Radio. It was the older generation's version of Braves/WTBS and Cubs/WGN. Cardinals were on the radio all the way down into South Mississippi in the 40's through the 60's (maybe even before). That coincided with some Cardinals better teams. They won 4 pennants in the 40's and 3 in the 60's...

    Insurance help from pack

    I vote for an independent agent with several companies to choose from. If Shelter. State Farm, Farm Bureau, Allstate, etc. get upside down on rates, the agent has no other options. If Safeco gets upside down, your independent agent can just move you to Travelers, MetLife, Progressive, etc. You...
