    OT: is it time to fertilize the yard this weekend

    Good but wait till it warms up a little. To get MAX effect from the post emergent POST herbicides follow label direction and apply to wet or damp foliage. You want the particles to stick to the weeds. Its a Scotts product so it will be easy to handle and works well with Scotts spreaders or...

    Anyone got any other data to back this up or refute it?

    look at the units. these are not %. net change in people moving in and out per 10,000. This would mean MS had gain of ~5,000 in 2025. Thats like adding Winona + maybe 500 folks

    Grass seed (Bermuda)

    In the bare spots or where St. Aug is weak. Close to being as shade tolerant as St. Aug. Hard to get going in deep shade but that may be where your best St. Aug is?

    Grass seed (Bermuda)

    Plug zoysiagrass (Pallisades, Zeon, Zorrow, Innovation, any cultivar but Meyer) in about 3 years you will have what you are looking for. Find a guy with a plugger or you cut and plant 4 inch by 4 inch plugs plant on 1 ft centers, slow work. Apply about 3 lbs N per year.

    Grass seed (Bermuda)

    Wait a bit. Until after Easter. This gives you time to get a soil test done. This will tell you soil pH and allow you to till in some lime if needed and to apply Phosphorus and Potassium. Around Last week of March or first week of April apply glyphosate to kill existing vegetation. Let that...

    Hubbard’s “Don’t Leave State” Clip

    $$$$ is the answer but that would get us 12 pts and 10 rebounds per game out of the 5 position

    Hubbard’s “Don’t Leave State” Clip

    Nwoko averaged 15 minutes a game last year. sometimes impactful minutes but still 15 minutes a game. Seems like I read he had conditioning issues. Ballard is playing 20 minutes a game. Ballard averages 6.2 pts and 6.2 rebounds per game. NWoko averaged 6.1 pts and 4.2 rebounds per game...

    I don’t normally comment on uniforms, but I’m tired of us wearing black

    I think the players like the black. It does not show sweat as much as the maroon does.

    Albert Reese must be Anthony Munoz, Jackie Slater and Willie Roaf...

    Its always interesting that MSU often has one OL that just brings it all together. In 2007 I think it was Mike Brown stepped in and played great at Tackle and the whole line just came together - was involved in the gun incident the next year and OL was back to the *******. Seems like Derrick...

    Volleyball vs USA on now, ESPN App

    The emergence of Cayley Hansen has been fun to watch. A setter who is also one of the leading blockers on the team. Mangelson looks to be the best hitter MSU has had in a while she is also good enough in the back line to stay in the game a lot of time. When MSU needs a point she is usually...

    Volleyball

    Mele (#10), and the freshman Mangelson (#3), are listed as hitters. Both are very and a good hitters, Mangelson can really spank it. #1 Aguilar from Argentina jumps well and can hit from several different arm slots (?) it seems and she also covers a lot of ground, gets to a lot of balls...

    Grant presidential library...

    It is being renovated. Better people with disabilities access. Better building air and HVAC improvements. Will connect to the West campus chilled water loop. The structure to the east of Dorman will house the chilled water infrastructure. Perhaps a set of restrooms that will be Junction...

    OT: grass

    If shade is not an issue you have more weed control options, less disease pressure and less water needs with bermuda. If you have shade St. Aug is the grass to keep. Now what bermuda do you have? Is it a "hybrid bermuda" or a common bermuda? Common will have seedheads with 5 or 4 branches...
