Lane Kiffin has a received a new contract offer from Ole Miss that would make him one of the ten highest paid coaches in college football. It's now a waiting game to see if he will receive an offer from Auburn. More details this afternoon on

@tatereeves
...Yesterday, 16,908 people watched 3 college baseball games in Arlington, TX. Today, 17,508 came through the gates at Globe Life Field. Everybody wore masks. It's time to lift the attendance restrictions in Mississippi.

With all due respect, Mr Congressman, this is a poor example you’re setting. The institutions of Congress and the Presidency are far greater than any one person. And forgive me for wondering if you attended the SOTU after President Clinton was impeached, for, you know, lying.
This is crazy...attendance

from the weekend. 58,703 people watched 6 baseball games in Mississippi this weekend. Wow.
State - G1 8,826, G2 11,511, G3 9,014
Total 29,351
Ole Miss - G1 9,810, G2 10,037, G3 9,505
Total 29,352.
Got my first ever real, legit hate mail today. Thanks, Jay, for taking the time to hand write 12 pages of racist, sexist, xenophobic, mysoginistic gibberish. You only forgot to include 2 things...your last name and your return mailing address you coward.
Not a big blame it on the officials guy, but this is ridiculous. Weak PI. Weaker hold. Phantom kick catch interference. And then pick up a PI that they threw on a push and then a grab? Ok, got it.
To describe the plane crash today in Oxford as tragic seems hollow and lacking. Offering a prayer for peace and God’s healing grace tonight for the Little family, for Lake’s friends and for the young men and first responders who did all they could to try to save her life.
I follow people of varying political beliefs on Twitter. It seems almost all had an affinity for President Bush. He is regarded as a good man who cared deeply and served admirably for our great country. Here’s to a return to that level of civility and dignity in politics.

Not sure this is breaking news, but...deal is now official with Kiffin and will be announced tonight. Press conference on Monday, time still TBA. Contract is 4 years and low 4MMs/year with typical bonus structure in place. Told staff will be "elite and SEC-centric."
Not nearly the idiot-factor as the folks who chose to give you tenure instead of firing you. On behalf of the folks who actually work for a living, and need our local economy to continue to recover, thank you Oxford Board of Alderman.
The Oxford Board of Alderman just voted to allow bars to stay open an additional hour for home football games (11pm Friday and Saturday night).
This is in the midst of one of the highest per capita rates of COVID in the nation.
Fucking idiots.
This letter was hand delivered today by Perry Sansing to
@RobynTannehill
. The letter was personal, is not on Ole Miss letterhead and doesn’t necessarily represent the university as a whole. Perry is Ole Miss’ designated liaison to elected and appointed officials (chief lobbyist).
Filed to ESPN: Andrew Luck has informed the Colts he is retiring from the NFL, per source. There will be a press conference Sunday to make it official, but Luck is mentally worn down, and now checking out.
Wait, people are for-real serious about defunding police departments...like, let’s literally not have law enforcement anymore? I don’t care who you vote for or where you fall politically, that might be the single dumbest idea since the founders signed the parchment.
When’s the last time you attempted to make payroll? When’s the last time you worried about making rent? When’s the last time you contributed anything to Oxford other than insults? Why don’t you ask one of your colleagues in the B-school how the real world works, (dummy).
Huge news for

continues to grow its relationship with Ole Miss. Bill, Tyler and their entire team are the best!
And...stay tuned for news about ANOTHER major corporate partner coming on board early next week.

..."movement in all extremities and feeling has come back. Still monitoring but certainly progressing."
I started going to
@OleMissBSB
games at Swayze in 1989. I’ve seen a lot of cool stuff...breathtaking wins, heartbreaking losses and unbelievable players. Yesterday was the first time I’ve cried at the ballpark. What a moment!
Special moment yesterday at Swayze Field where Sgt. Anna Seale surprised her daughter, 5th grader Addison Moore, at our annual Kids Day after being deployed in Kuwait for the past nine months.

Hope you will take a short break from whatever you’ve got going and offer up a prayer for JT. JT, his family and our entire SuperTalk family would really appreciate it.
Despite his postgame Darth Vader claims of being a peacemaker, Dan Mullen was the reason things escalated last night in Gainesville. If anyone deserves to be suspended next week, it’s Mullen. Players follow their coach.

The House just passed a 3 trillion dollar spending bill at 9 o’clock on a Friday night that is 1815 pages, no one could’ve possibly had time to read and has no chance of making it through the Senate. Seems like a good use of time and money. Great leaders.
@tatereeves
We have the best college baseball fans, collectively, on the planet, and they deserve to see these incredible teams in person. We can be responsible, but the economic decline based on capacity restrictions in Oxford, Starkville and Hattiesburg has to stop. It's time.

Heartbroken to wake up to the news of Rod and Paula Bramblett’s death in a car accident last night. Rod was one of the good guys. Loved his job, loved his family, and loved Auburn. Join in me offering a prayer for peace and comfort to the Bramblett’s family and friends

@brianhadad
had the quote of the day on the Coral Gables Regional when talking about whether it should’ve been moved.
When I said Miami earned the right to host, he said, “Yeah, but the other 3 teams earned the right to actually play.” Here’s hoping…
In the grand scheme of our bloated, many times wasteful, national budget, 18 million dollars isn’t much. Stripping money away from
@SpecialOlympics
is cold hearted, cruel and wrong. I appreciate actual fiscal responsibility, but this is wrong. Special Olympics is important.

Per sources, there will be a meeting tonight at 8 where the Ole Miss football team will be informed of the decision to move on from Matt Luke. I’m told Matt will have an opportunity to address the team.
A great big tip of the cap this morning to
@GregSankey
and everyone at the
@SEC
office - plus all the players,coaches, support staff, etc - that made this college football season happen. There are A LOT of people whose livelihoods depend largely on CFB. Thank you and well done.

I’m told there is good news for Jerrell Powe (
@jpowe57
) and co-defendant in the alleged kidnapping case from last January.
Source says a grand jury issued a No True Bill in the case, meaning probable cause does not exist to move forward with a trial and the case is dismissed.
A while back some folks in Mississippi wanted to believe he wasn’t to be taken seriously, even called him a “cartoon character” on statewide radio. Upon further review…
What a week in Hoover for
@OleMissBSB
. Count me in the group that didn’t see a run to the champ game coming. Great pitching and clutch hitting at the right time of the year...that’s the postseason recipe for success.

Hey
@dish
! I try not be a public complainer, but I need you to get this deal worked out with Fox. I pay you a lot of money every month. If it goes up a couple of dollars, that’s ok. What’s not ok is not being able to watch what I pay you for. Cool? Glad we could have this chat.
Can you imagine thinking this is cool? The grounds dept for
@cityofoxford
does such an incredible job and then some moron destroys it. Maybe next time just get up at 5 in the morning when these guys are working and say thank you.
What a gutsy performance from

I generally stay away from politics here. Not tonight. Regardless of how we feel about immigration and border protection, punishing innocent children for the decisions of adults is NOT OK. It’s just not.
