Cleveland's Article

[JxnDawg39211]

After reading Rick Cleveland's article today (</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20081023/COL0504/810230350/1177/SPORTS">http://www.clarionledger....504/810230350/1177/SPORTS), it makes you wonder what the all Mississippi lineup would look like . I'll take a stab at it :

QB - Jevan Snead
RB - Anthony Dixon
RB - Damion Fletcher
WR - DeAndre Brown
WR - Dexter McCluster
WR - Shay Hodge
OL - Micheal Oher
OL- Derek Sherrod
OL - Maurice Miller
OL - Reid Neely
OL - Cavlin Wilson

DE- Greg Hardy
DL - Peria Jerry
DL- Jesse Bowman
DE- Cortez McCraney
LB - KJ Wright
LB - Jamar Chaney
DB- Marshay Green
DB- JAsper OQuinn
SS- Keith Fitzough
FS- Derek Pegues

I wouldnt take anyone from Southern's Defense (its god awful) . and on the offensive side of the ball outside of Sherrod and Dixon I wouldnt take anyone else from State....and we could finally find a decent punter ...

 

[Ole Miss Grad]

John Jerry before Miller and Neely for us.

Neely doesn't even start. Hard to leave Laurent and Tillman off the list.</p>

</p>

Green is horrible.</p>

 

[Oxford Godfrey]

We could all be one...

It's a neat deal to do, and like someone on Nafoom said, if you go back 8-10 years it gets sick. 1999 had all three of us in the rankings. A collection of those three teams would have been a Top 3 national program. Although Madkin/Miller doesn't inspire much....

University of Mississippi did not want the land grant institution added to the University in the 1870s. Therefore we got Miss. A&M in 1878 in another location. </p>

[Oxford Godfrey]

would've worked....

 

[statefanjosh]

No need for a qb with Duece, J.J., and Derrick Nix. Just run the wishbone

 

[Fletch Fletcher]

OL - Cavlin Wilson

Calvin Wilson??? That guy struggles with pass blocking against CUSA defenses. No way he would start on an All-MS team. Surely there is a better OL somewhere in the state.

 

[Henry Kissinger]

Keep Neely, replace Miller

 

[rebmus]

Green is a converted WR and it shows. He may turn out good next year, but he sucks balls now.

The University of Mississippi DID start a Land Grant Institution in 1871. They set up classes, hired professors, the whole shebang.....and no one showed up.

The farmers didn't want their sons going to the same school as the sons of rich plantation owners. So, Mississippi A & M was formed, and Starkville was chosen over Meridian (then the largest city in Mississippi, and a railroad town) because at the time, it was believed that good young Christian men shouldn't be exposed to the negative influences of big city life, like drinking, smoking cigars, women who showed their ankles, and open saloons on Sunday.</p>

The first years of Mississippi A&M were actually in Noxapater. It later relocated to Starkville

Is not because of the Bible thumping holier than thou non-ankle showing fine Christian folk of the past. According to Dr. Wax, (probably one of the top 5 professors at State) the reason State is located in Starkville is because there are a total of I think 12 types of soil total, and Okt. County has 11 of the 12 with the obvious exclusion being permafrost. Roast me if you want for any geological mistakes, I majored in accounting. Dr. Wax was 2 of my elective classes.

Edited aGAIN to make sports related because I don't have 50-50 vision and misspelled the coach's name: Crxxms is a dubmass *****.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

The Dixie Cup.

 

[Coach34]

of the Black Prairie area of Mississippi, with very good soil. I dont think it contains that many different types, and I can assure you the leaders at that time didnt give two ***** about it. It was politics plain and simple- wealthy landowners vs the Rednecks...

 

[Cohendawg]

50-50visiku

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

What was funny was that the Miss. State Student Council proposed a boycott of Sports Illustrated because it supposedly put the school in a bad light. I disagreed with boycotting, but I understand the reasoning- write about the damn game, and forget the politics. If you want to write about politics, write for New Republic or National Review.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

...I wrote a letter to the editor that appeared in the Reflector disagreeing with the SA Senate proposal. The uninformed senators thought that Hinton was making light of Mississippi when in fact he's a Laurel native. One thing though, I wrote that the proposal was "inane" and when it appeared in the newspaper, "insane" was there in place of "inane."
