Sounds like Gov. Phil appointed several new folks to the state college board. Just wondering if the state's largest university will have the most board members or not... The CL says the new board members are: Karen Cummins, Ford Dye, Shane Hooper, and Hal Parker.


Parker is a Bulldog, right? The retiring members are Amy Whitten (UMiss), Stacy Davidson (UMiss), Scott Ross (MSU), and Bettye Neely (Valley). The current board president is Ed Blakeslee (MSU).


Anyone have any scoop? I figure there are some Bully Bloc members that read the board or something that might know...

Yes, Hal Parker is a bulldog. Great guy to have on the board. There was only 1 appointment available for Central MS. He was the Pres of Bulldog Club for two terms as well.

not that this couldn't be easily surmised from the press release. I've met him a few times around Oxford with one of my buddies that's a former player up there. A good guy overall. Hasn't followed NCAA rules to a T in his relationships with players. I'll leave it at that because the exact rule I'm aware of being broken is, quite franky, a ridiculous one in the first place. Something I'm positive happens everywhere...
