Just as Dr. S predicted, Thursday night’s TCU-Southern Miss game (6:30 p.m., ESPN) will be for the Conference USA championship and more. TCU still has an outside shot at a BCS bowl bid if it beats USM. The Horned Frogs are stout on both sides of the ball. The Golden Eagles kick ass on defense, as usual, and, thanks to the emergence of Dustin Almond at QB, have finally started moving the ball on offense. … Take it from Dr. S, TCU’s BCS dreams are over. USM 28, TCU 24.

USM 40, TCU 28 … Is Dr. S psychotic, or what? Good night, Horned Frogs.

How did Dr. S like those black on black uniforms? Not too shabby huh?

Those all-black unis were butt-ugly, as usual.

Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
