[The Slate] The Best In Sports In 7 Days
by Doctor S
August 27, 2008
Thursday, Aug. 28
Southern League baseball, West Tenn at Mississippi (7 p.m., Pearl, 1590 AM): The M-Braves open their final homestand of the season. … Junior college football, Northeast at Hinds (7 p.m., Raymond): The Eagles open the season hoping to challenge for a title again after a few down years. … NFL preseason football, Miami at New Orleans (7 p.m., Comcast Ch. 71/620 AM): The Saints face the Dolphins in the final practice game. Stay healthy, guys.
Friday, Aug. 29
High school football, Murrah vs. Callaway (7:30 p.m., Newell Field, Jackson): What better way to open the season than with an old-school JPS rivalry? … Brandon at Pearl (7:30 p.m., Pearl): You had better arrive early if you want to get a seat at the Rankin County Super Bowl. … Jackson Academy at Jackson Prep (7 p.m., Flowood, 930 AM/970 AM): These two will probably meet again in the MPSA title game.
Saturday, Aug. 30
College football, Mississippi State at Louisiana Tech (5:45 p.m., Ruston, La., ESPN2/105.9 FM): Let me get this straight, MSU can play a game at Ruston, but playing Southern Miss would be bad for the program? … Memphis at Ole Miss (6 p.m., Oxford, 97.3 FM): There’s a new Nutt on the sideline in Oxford. … Louisiana-Lafayette at Southern Miss (6 p.m., Hattiesburg, 1180 AM/103.3 FM): Larry Fedora makes his debut at USM where winning isn’t enough.
Sunday, Aug. 31
College football, Jackson State vs. Hampton (1 p.m., Orlando, Fla., ESPN2/1300 AM): The Tigers open their season on national TV at the Citrus Bowl. Is a side trip to Disney World in the works?
Monday, Sept. 1
Southern League baseball, West Tenn at Mississippi (7 p.m., Pearl, 1590 AM): The M-Braves play their last game of the regular season; hopefully it won’t be their last game of the season.
Tuesday, Sept. 2
Major league baseball, Atlanta at Florida (6 p.m., SportSouth/620 AM): If Chipper Jones wasn’t battling for the batting title, there would be no reason to watch the Braves.
Wednesday, Sept. 3
Major league baseball, Chicago White Sox at Cleveland (noon, WGN): The Sox keep chasing a playoff berth.
The Slate is compiled by Doctor S when he’s not busy investigating NFL conspiracy theories.

Dan Rather Fights Back, and How

Dan Rather Fights Back, and How

Obama's AG and the Drug War

Obama's AG and the Drug War

Officer Sues Melton, City for Retaliation
