State beat Oklahoma straight up today. Pounded 15 hits on them.

State has elite pitching. If it shows up tomorrow or Sunday, they can steal a WCWS spot.

Here’s the story on State.

They have been good but not good enough to compete with the top of the SEC. They got no breaks in their schedule draw this year and faced seven of the top eight teams in the conference, so that 9-15 conference mark is deceiving.
State has 15 hits and has left at least five runners stranded in scoring position.

State not good enough to win this, but they have a good club that is way better than their 9-15 SEC record.

Education Scam of the Day: Credit Recovery

Posted by anc on 5/20/26 at 5:49 pm
My post about what people were wearing to graduation last weekend, followed by the scholars of Madison Prep making a fool of themselves got me talking to some people in K-12 education.

Madison Prep has a 95% graduation rate, and only 35% of their students can read at a middle school level. How is this happening?

The scam is called Credit Recovery, and here is how it works.

Our young scholar fails a class outright, or doesn't attend enough classes to have a shot a passing. Because there is a 50 floor grade, every 0 is counted as a 50, making passing with a 65 much easier. But still some of our scholars can't pull this off. Enter Credit Recovery.

For a few as three mornings of summer vacation, you can go in and recover the credits you miss. Sometimes it only takes you showing up one day. Do you do the work? Nah, you can sleep for four hours in the cafeteria. Just show up. They have to take an online class with unlimited attempts where proctors just give them the answers, or they get a parent or friend to do it. One aspiring entrepreneur is selling his services online. You can get 26 credits in a week!

Its a nationwide problem.

High school championships in Pearl just went into full delay with the tarp. Probably about 3 hours away from Hoover.
Possibly. But I read where she was not his manager and had only been in the room with him once and had never talked to him.

The "fish head" comment is what got me. I had never heard that description of a woman - turns out its an Indian culture thing.

As someone who has always thought false accusers should be held accountable, I'm rooting for her.

One of Rana’s main allegations had been that Hajdini had threatened to slash his bonus unless he agreed to have sex with her.

But the 37-year-old executive, who is widely respected inside the Jamie Dimon-led lender, had no say whatsoever over a possible promotion or his compensation, according to internal HR documents obtained and reviewed by The Post. The pair reported to different managing directors.






I hope she gets every penny he ever makes. She was a random middle manager that just got picked.

Shows her the undeniable proof and she still denies it "We have cameras."

on another note, Ole Miss just hired the author as a visiting professor.
State is very aggressive in Alabama. They got me 30 years ago with the same strategy.

It's an SEC experience and if you are in the high 20s/low 30s on ACT, it's cheaper than Alabama/Auburn until you get to a 33 ACT.

So if you are a student with a 31 ACT, you can get a full ride at State or pay $8000 a year at Auburn or $5000 a year at Bama. Some families are choosing State when it comes down to the money. Plus Starkville is cheap compared to the rest of the SEC. Apartments are about $650-$700 a bedroom vs. Oxford/Athens/Auburn around $1100 and Tuscaloosa near $1000.

If you are a middle class family and costs are a factor in your college choice, you can go to State for the cost of Jax State/South Alabama/Troy and have an SEC experience. That's what got me to Starkville. I was headed to Jax State or UAB.

The University of Arkansas is waiving tuition to residents of border states and kicking our asses in getting talent to that area.

Saw that. Told my wife that was at least not disrespectful.

Both suburban high schools.

It was surprising.

The things people wear to graduation

Posted by anc on 5/17/26 at 9:48 am
Went to two graduations this weekend. I saw:

Playboy t-shirt
Fishnet shorts
Swim trunks
Multiple bras/crop tips (not hidden bras that peeked out, they were wearing them as a top)
More cleavage than you can count
Two sideboobs
One nipple

The problem is that to be considered for Best Picture at the Oscar, a film must now have an LGBT or minority in a leading role.

If that much has been donated to State, people need to be fired



Howard (of Howard Technologies) made a bi, but undisclosed donation - just called lead gift on a $60 million football facility. Could be $20 million, $30 million or $40 million.
