Cox-Purvis Report

The C-USA tourney continues to progress according to seedings, which was bad news last night for the Eagles. USM was shut down 0-8 by the Horned Frogs of TCU in the late game at Pete Taylor. Louisville and UAB were sent home from the losers bracket in earlier play, while Tulane inched clos...

The latest news from the Dome and the Mississippi state board for the Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) continues a three-year pattern of "revisionist history" that would impress the late George Orwell. If Shelby Freland Thames isn't a "wurl' class" liar, then he is disingenuous a...

There is nothing more dangerous to us now than SFT's status as a lame duck. He will now be more aggressive than ever, and you can bet that the BIDNESS community now have a shortened, but more intensive two year agenda. I am telling you: This is a very, very dangerous situation!

Dr. 90210

Having a comprehensive board setup for all public 4-year universities in the state has certainly fueled the anti-USM conspiracy theorists. With more MSU/UM representation than others, USM's fall from Tier III to Tier IV (in USNWR) lends credence to the theory. The flip side is that neith...
