The Blank Slate Lie

If tweet fails to load, click here. If you believe in the blank slate lie, you will always transform a society with a 100-average IQ to a society with a 70-average IQ. You will always re-create the third world.
In other words, leftism is so retarded that it's actually making everyone else retarded. It's taking food out of the mouths of smart people to give to morons.

Depends on who you ask. Some people like rural areas ands some people like dodging bullets in dirty cities.

By example, would a coach rather be at Chapel Hill making more money or Starkville, Mississippi making less. I know they have good fans but, it's Starkville.
If we pulled him from Chapel Hill, we'd have to pay north of $2 million.
The whole "living in Starkville" thing is outdated and lazy, especially when you are making seven figures. But yeah you got to sell the wife on it.

Don't disagree with that. This is simply a beat writer's list.

Out of all those, Skip Johnson feels the most “Mississippi State”.
I agree. The AD is an Oklahoma guy so he'll definitely see if there is interest.
Now, last time we had a coaching search, there was a nice list like this and we ended up with a Big Ten coach no one had heard of.

Link behind Paywall, But I'll Provide the List Below
Chris Pollard, Duke Head Coach
Skip Johnson, Oklahoma Head Coach
Josh Elander, Tennessee Assistant Coach
Nick Mingione, Kentucky Head Coach
Mitch Canham, Oregon State Head Coach
Scott Forbes, North Carolina Head Coach
Wes Johnson, Georgia Head Coach
Mark Wasikowski, Oregon Head Coach
Its a decent list of candidates, and State will have to pay for any of them. Lemonis was the 9th highest paid coach in the SEC at $1.3 million. Forbes makes $1.7 million at UNC, for example.
Canham is interesting. Oregon State has a great program but them not having a conference home is going to hurt them financially.

Sorry, should have put a conference game qualifier on it. Figured it was understood.

Burroughs would take it in a heartbeat and be cheap. He's done a good job at Louisiana Tech and has a Mississippi State pedigree. He'd be a typical hire from a good mid major.
But State baseball has the ability to pull from a higher weight class. I like Walter at Wake Forest and he will be a serious candidate. We'll have to shell out some money for him, and we need offensive lineman.
So, big time hire for baseball, or take a chance on the mid major guy and buy some linemen?

Hot Board is

Who is Oklahoma's head coach? We'll probably hire him.

Lemonis is garbage. We are already struggling in the NIL era - there are questions whether we need to buy out a baseball coach's contract or buy a couple of offensive linemen.
Purcell is a decent recruiter but no one likes playing for him. We lost our entire roster in the transfer portal, with two going to Ole Miss.
Jans is the best major coach on campus right now. But one and done in the NCAA Tournament may be our ceiling. 3 straight NCAA Tourneys (First Four and two 8/9 seeds) Don't see anything in the program that says we can make a run to the second weekend.
We won the SEC in soccer and the coach bolted for Auburn. Softball is middle of the pack SEC (which is top 20 in the nation). Men's tennis will host and have a shot at the Sweet 16.
Pretty miserable year altogether though.

Will finish .500 or below in football, men's basketball and baseball for the first time since 1985-86.
Yet no one is going top be fired.

The best thing college golf ever did was move to match play for championships. Its pretty exciting.
Auburn, LSU, A&M, Oklahoma, Georgia and Florida look to have secured a spot in the quarterfinals.
Mississippi State and South Carolina in as of now but Alabama and Arkansas are only 2 and 3 strokes back respectively. Then you have top ranked Ole Miss six strokes back. So is Texas.
Those six battling for two spots. Vandy, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri are seemingly out of contention.

re: Lumumba is out and Horhn is in. Jackson MS opts for a unity ticket
Posted by anc on 4/24/25 at 9:13 pm
Jackson is not beyond repair. 12 years of inept leadership followed by eight years of corrupt leadership did quite the number but Jackson has good bones.
Downtown area is clean. Just empty.
Fondren area has some great restaurants and entertainment.
Belhaven/medical corridor has improved since CCID was expanded.
North Jackson has some resemblance of industry, but too many empty buildings. Got to get some investment back in the city.
Eastover/Ridgewood has some great homes. If crime gets under control, those homes will move fast as people look for bargains.

Great call. Google beats earnings. Up 3% after hours.

Yep, the No. 1 team in the country is 9 strokes from the cut with one round to go. Not ideal but its doable.

Top eight after three rounds advance to championship play.
