Quantity 5 in our sequence of untamed blind dart-throwing predictions takes us to Missy State.
WEEK 8, OCT 22: MISSISSIPPI STATE BULLDOGS
Coach: Mike Leach, age 61 (11-13 two seasons at MSU; 7-11 SEC; 150-103 general)
2021 MSU document: 7-6, (4-4 in SEC, Third within the West Division; Misplaced Liberty Bowl)
CB969 2021 Prediction: 5-7; “Granted, Leach inherited a large number at Mississippi State. Up to now, he has not completed a lot to provide a lot hope to problem for the SEC West anytime quickly. The passing recreation ought to be enjoyable and thrilling however the protection shouldn’t be nice…”
Trying again: 2021 was a schizo 12 months for Clanga-clang as they barely snuck by a foul LaTech (3-9) group after which topped a strong NC State (9-3) by two touchdowns. For an encore, nevertheless, they took a faceplant towards a bleh Memphis that ended up 6-6 on the season. Then a house loss to circling-the-drain LSU was adopted by a highway win over TAMU. And that’s how the season went. Routed by Bama, beat Vandy and UK. Lose to Arky, win at Auburn. The season led to a thud because the Bulldogs misplaced the Egg Bowl after which obtained pushed round by Texas Tech 34-7 for his or her second defeat in Memphis on the season.
Returning starters: 7 on offense, 7 on protection, punter.
Key losses: OT Charles Cross (Spherical 1, Seahawks), CB Martin Emerson (Spherical 3, Browns), WR Makai Polk (105 rec, 1046 yds, 9 TD), LB Aaron Brule (switch to Michigan State), WR Malik Heath (Ole Miss – OUCH!), EDGE Aaron Odom (Southern Miss). [MSU had about seven or eight guys – mostly on defense, mostly contributors – transfer to USM.]
High returnees: QB Will Rogers, CB Emmanuel Forbes (solely Bully among the many preseason All-SEC 1st-Third groups!), WR Jaden Walley, WR Austin Williams, RB Jo’quavious Marks, LB Jett Johnon, KR Lideatrick Griffin, NT Nathan Pickering, LB Tyrus Wheat.
High newcomers: S Jackie Matthew (in from West Virginia), DB Marcus Banks (Alabama), PK Massimo Biscardi (Coastal Carolina), frosh DL Trevion Williams (Crystal Springs, MS).
Title you must know: QB Will Rogers can sling it. Final season, he was second within the nation and first amongst Energy-5 in passing yards with 4,449. He related 35 occasions with receivers for scores and had solely 8 interceptions – 3 of which got here towards the Crimson Tide. Alabama was the one 2021 recreation through which he didn’t discover the top zone.
Strengths: The passing recreation will put up massive numbers… Mixed 199 receptions for two,233 yards and 18 touchdowns from final season returning (bust misplaced their main receiver)… Linebackers ought to be improved… Many junior, senior, and super-senior starters…
Weaknesses: Regardless of the Air Raid offense, MSU was solely sixtieth in scoring final season (29.1 ppg)… Defensive backfield has many new faces and can once more be suspect… D-line depth… Changing two OGs… Motivation – with MSU, you by no means know what sort of group will present up on gameday… Teaching employees is unimpressive… Enjoying within the SEC West…
Outlook: Mike Leach won’t ever win a Nationwide Championship and even an SEC Championship. Nonetheless, his high-flying offense may give any group bother on any given Saturday. The Bullies will in all probability shock a group or two but in addition lose some they haven’t any enterprise dropping. Guessing which of them is a problem. Regardless, count on them within the center to decrease of the SEC pack and a tier 3 bowl recreation.

‘If they cannot play Thalia Hall, they cannot play in Mississippi at all’: Broadway in Jackson speaks out about possible show cancellations

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – It’s been one month since Thalia Mara Hall closed its doors due to a mold outbreak.
Innovation Arts and Entertainment is the company responsible for bringing Broadway productions to Jackson.
Representatives from the company visited Jackson after hearing the building had been closed.
CEO Adam Epstein says the City of Jackson did not inform them of the news.
“We did not find out from anybody within the city. We found out by reading news clippings forwarded to us by other people in Jackson,” Epstein said.
Certified Industrial Hygienic Testing reported visible dirt, debris, and suspected mold growth on many surfaces.
Epstein fears this could change the possibility of bigger shows coming to the capital city.
“They’re going to skip over us because of this mess. We need to show as a community that Jackson cares about this valuable asset and that we demand our elected leaders to support and treat this really, incredibly valuable asset with the TLC it deserves,” he said.
Thalia Mara Hall is the only venue in the state that can host a Broadway production due to the technical needs and accommodations required.
“Touring theatrical shows. If they cannot play Thalia Hall, they cannot play in Mississippi at all,” he said.
Broadway in Jackson is not only a great source of entertainment in the city, but it’s also beneficial economically.
“Those other businesses don’t benefit. The city doesn’t earn tax revenue from events that we present. They don’t earn rental income from the events we present. They don’t earn facility fees from the events we present. This is a real tragedy. It’s unacceptable.”
The well-being of the potential audience is the company’s main priority.
“I will not risk our ticket buyers’ health and safety and comfort. Our shows can and will cancel before we’d ever put somebody in jeopardy. We’ve issued a 100% guarantee of a full refund if the venue is not given a clean bill of health,” Epstein said.
All shows will be canceled on a case-to-case basis.

Tire failure suspected in deadly Mississippi bus crash, NTSB says
![Tire failure suspected in deadly Mississippi bus crash, NTSB says Tire failure suspected in deadly Mississippi bus crash, NTSB says](https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2021/07/11/USAT/9631b18b-dce5-449d-a448-47f4b71a9b44-MS-01.png?auto=webp&crop=3954,2224,x823,y443&format=pjpg&width=1200)
Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board are conducting a probe into Saturday’s crash that killed seven and injured 36 people.
The deadly bus crash in Mississippi that killed seven people and injured dozens of others early Saturday occurred after the vehicle experienced a tire failure, causing it to run off the road and overturn, officials and authorities said.
Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board, in coordination with the Mississippi Highway Patrol, are conducting a probe into Saturday’s crash that left seven people dead and another 36 people injured. The collision occurred at about 12:40 a.m. on Interstate 20 near Vicksburg, Mississippi, when the bus left the roadway and overturned.
The bus, which authorities described as a 2018 Volvo commercial passenger bus, traveled westbound when its left front tire failed, NTSB member Todd Inman said at a news conference Sunday. The bus then moved onto an embankment and rolled over on its left side.
Inman added that investigators will be at the scene for at least another week and are looking into several factors of the crash, including the vehicle’s mechanical condition, motor carrier safety, the condition and experience of the driver, and environmental factors.
According to U.S. Department of Transportation records, the bus was operated by Autobuses Regiomontanos. Records show that in the 24 months before Saturday, the transit company’s vehicles were involved in one fatal crash, two injury collisions, and a crash requiring a tow truck.
The transit company has over 20 years of experience and provides trips between more than 100 destinations throughout Mexico and the United States, according to Autobuses Regiomontanos’ website.
“Everyone at the NTSB sends their expressions of sorrow for everything that the survivors and victims of this crash went through,” Inman said.
7 killed, 36 injured in bus crash
The bus carried a total of 41 passengers and two drivers, according to authorities. It was traveling from Atlanta to Dallas when the incident occurred.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash, according to Master Sergeant Kervin K. Stewart with the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Six people were pronounced dead at the scene and another person died later at a hospital, Stewart said.
Another 36 people were transported to area hospitals.
Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey said two victims killed in the crash were identified by their mother as a 16-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy, according to The New York Times. Authorities were working to identify the other victims.
