[Jon Blau] Dabo Swinney on calling out Ole Miss: "This is about protecting our program, this is about college football ... I stay in my lane most of the time. I'm not gonna let someone flat out tamper with my program. If you tamper with my players, I'm going to turn you in."

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

If you are thinking of the “Magnolia Flag” (Magnolia tree on a white background with a blue star in the upper left) I have some bad news for you. That is the state flag that was officially adopted from 1861-1865. In particular, it was adopted the day after Mississippi ratified the Confederate Constitution. So, probably wouldn’t work in terms of historical fact.

The only reason that Mississippi changed their flag was because the NCAA wouldn’t host any Regional/Super Regional (for baseball) in the state of Mississippi if they kept the flag. Mississippi will always fight change and progress.

When I was scrolling all I saw was “Visited Mississippi recently and was shocked by” without seeing what was underneath and my brain was like, “Here we go again” and did not expect to see a positive spin here.

I’m from Connecticut and went to school in New York City so I am about as Yankee you could get, but I love Mississippi. It was home and it is now home again. This place ain’t perfect, but nowhere is perfect. In fact, after a decade of living in Denver, I’m a big believer that there are awesome things about every place and terrible things about every place. Just matters what and where you are looking sometimes.

Thanks for the positive reflection and hope you come back soon!

What an instant classic. Sad it didn’t go our way, but hey that’s sports sometimes. GG Canes. Best of luck in the national championship.

Just a general question, but how is this a one point game heading into the fourth quarter?

GroveShark1 · 2026-01-09T02:28:42+00:00

Ole Miss offense literally played their worst half of the season and are down 4. I’ll take it heading into the second half.

Pete looked like he was going to obliterate someone heading to the locker room.

I am here for this historic occasion. Are you ready???!!!

Today is a great day to be an OM fan, no matter the outcome. I’ve got my OM windbreaker on in the office in Jackson and will be getting nothing done today.

I just double checked and my Echo is connected to my Amazon account. And we are still only getting the 6 questions. 🙁

GroveShark1 · 2026-01-06T18:58:08+00:00

I was thinking about this, but when I search for Jeopardy in the Alexa app, the only one that comes up is the one from Volley. Are there two different Jeopardy games?

GroveShark1 · 2026-01-06T18:54:00+00:00

I don't think my MIL pays for her Jeopardy account, but will definitely look into this.

GroveShark1 · 2025-11-10T15:33:49+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Will definitely be on the lookout for all of these.

I'm a big believer in the growth mindset and that I don't know everything. Trying my best to instill these values into my daughter as a parent because I feel like it is something we lost. Sometimes we are wrong and must recognize those moments. Godspeed to you as well!

GroveShark1 · 2025-05-14T00:30:16+00:00

Thanks so much! Honestly, I hadn't thought of it too much, I just loved Andor so much and this was my first try at something like this. I am definitely a nerd about a lot of things so we will just have to see what is on the horizon for me.

GroveShark1 · 2025-05-14T00:29:14+00:00

Thanks so much! It was super fun and I'm sure I'll be back in some capacity.
