[The Slate] The Best In Sports In 7 Days

by Doctor S
November 12, 2008

Thursday, Nov. 13
College football, Virginia Tech at Miami (6:30 p.m., ESPN): Since you won’t watch the MLS playoffs, this battle of ACC also-rans is your best alternative.

Friday, Nov. 14
High school football, Jackson Prep vs. MRA in MPSA AAA, Division I championship (7 p.m., Mississippi College, Clinton, 970 AM): The rampaging Patriots from Flowood aim to crown another perfect season with a state title. And they will.

Saturday, Nov. 15
College football, Mississippi State at Alabama (6:45 p.m., Tuscaloosa, Ala., ESPN/105.9 FM): The Bulldogs go for their third straight victory against The Crimson Tide. Unfortunately for State, Bama is unbeaten and ranked No. 1 this year. … Men’s college basketball, Millsaps at Belhaven (7 p.m., Jackson): The Majors and Blazers battle for the mythical — but, oh so important — JFP Cup at Rugg Arena.

Sunday, Nov. 16
NFL football, New Orleans at Kansas City (noon, Ch. 40/620 AM): The Saints try to get back to .500 against the NFL’s second-worst team. But remember, these are the Saints. … Dallas at Washington (7:15 p.m., Ch. 3): The Cowboys are fighting for their playoff lives.

Monday, Nov. 17
Junior college basketball, Northwest Mississippi at Hinds (women, 6 p.m., and men, 8 p.m., Utica): The Rangers and Rangerettes invade southern Hinds County. Do juco players still dunk during pre-game warm-ups? … NFL football, Cleveland at Buffalo (7:30 p.m., ESPN/930 AM): The Browns and Bills are both desperate, so this could be entertaining.

Tuesday, Nov. 18
College basketball, Belhaven at Wesley (women, 5 p.m., men, 7 p.m., Florence): The Blazers head to Rankin County for a doubleheader.

Wednesday, Nov. 19
Men’s college basketball, North Alabama at Mississippi State in Legends Tournament (7 p.m., Starkville, 105.9 FM): If the Bulldogs can’t beat a Division II team, this will be a long, long season. … College football, Ball State at Central Michigan (6 p.m., ESPN2): The Cardinals and Chippewas face off in a crucial MAC West showdown.

The Slate is compiled by Doctor S in his penthouse atop the JFP Tower.

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: it's not enough to just study something - at some point you have to act. Systematic exclusion can be read as hatred, even when those involved in it do not feel it to be that. This is ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
J.T.: Wintrhop, your last sentence "I don't want a small and manageable God. I prefer one that I can't fully understand." bears out that we each have perceptions of God. And, when the ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Wintrhop Sargent: Funny you should mention the gender issue of a deity. I was at lunch with a St. Andrews priest one time and a very conservative member of the Cathedral came to our table ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: I wouldn't be too sure your church doesn't preach hate if your liturgy is not gender-inclusive. Think about it - is God really a "He" or a "Father"? Those are some images or visions of ...

Barbour Wants to Merge State's Black Universities
baquan2000: Goldenae - you pointed out a key element in your post, "the point is that he would even suggest such a thing. And the sad part is that from the polls, the people ...

[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
amoderatemississippian : check out the following link: http://www.oxfordeag le.com/news2.html It does appear, by the article written today, that possibly a sizeable portion of the student body ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Wintrhop Sargent: WMartin - At the church I attend, St. Andrew's Cathedral, there is no teaching or preaching about hate (unless you include the teaching and preaching AGAINST hate). I'm ...

[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
ladd: A fail-safe principle I've always sworn by: If the Kluckers agree with me about something, I need to rethink it.
Nov 20, 2009 | 01:39 PM
[Doyle] From Dixie, With Love
Goldenae: I would truly be ashamed of myself if I looked at life and others the way the some people do. Some folks can not put themselves in another person's shoes to save their lives. It is ...

Barbour Wants to Merge State's Black Universities
Goldenae: Why is it so hard to understand that regardless of what we would like to think, there are different standards. That is quite obvious in Barbour's suggestion of ...
