@BrettFavre How far back to elementary school do we need to go? This is a nation of immigrants. E Pluribus Unim means “from many, one.” It’s part of what makes our country unique. We don’t demand every citizen to forget their heritage or always agree with everything this country does.

Tired of these meteorologists telling me to “seek shelter” during a tornado warning. It’s my right as an American to be outside whenever I want and the flu kills many more people than twisters anyway. Enough with the tyranny.

Anyone hating on College Gameday for the decision to come to Jackson is so, so wrong. @GoJSUTigersFB got it rocking rn. They will sell 55k+ tickets, and between the crowd, the food and the bands, it will be electric.

For perspective, consider that Mississippi. - Went from 1 confirmed case to 10,000 in 63 days. - Went from 10,000 cases to 20,000 in 33 days. - Is on pace to go from 20,000 to 30,000 in 15 days. Please wear a mask, ya'll.

They should take the interim tag off of Joe Paul’s title, sit back and watch the university thrive. His love for USM makes him a great ambassador, he’s as sharp as administrators come and a great human being to boot. My $0.02.

I would support a shot clock for MS high school games, even if it was just for the post-season. Without one, at least 7/10 games end with one team taking the air out of the ball and playing keep away. If you fall behind, it's 100x harder to come back. Just my $0.02.
