The Powe-Tron
As a part of our media rights contract with TeleSouth we will soon be getting a brand new jumbotron for Vaught Hemingway Stadium. While the prospect of a new, cutting edge screen is thrilling, let us not forget that the man behind all of this is Pete Boone. Yeah, according to the Clarion Ledger,...
Interview with Billy
Last week, Billy Chadwick answered some questions submitted by fans for Grove Side Q&A with olemisssports.com. It opened up with the all-too-neglected topic of tennis recruiting. Apparently, we've got the top-ranked player from Sweden coming in next year to add to our four returning players. Aside...
Pete Boone's Justification: In Technicolor
So the Powe-Tron is getting re-bidded on. Apparently plastic pegs are pretty damned expensive and Boone just doesn't want to shell a lot of cash. While we joke about our athletic department's collective inability to make a good decision, it really is sad. The saddest part of all of this, of course,...
The Powe Tron: Probably not gonna suck afterall!
I don't have any sort of definite source to verify this, but the recent scuttlebutt surrounding the Powe-Tron is that Daktronics, the company responsible for scoreboards at Georgia, Texas, and numerous other places, has won the bid to construct our new scoreboard. This means that our new board will...
Powe-tron RENDERED!
The long wait is over. THE POWE-TRON IS HERE! Well, sort of... computer renderings have been released. That's better than nothing though, right... actually, I think that's the same as nothing.I love it how people go ga-ga over renderings of construction. Generally, the renderings aren't too...

They're...
Has it ever gotten to this point in years past?
Parrish Alford is reporting that Jerrell Powe has been cleared to play. He's just awaiting a formal call from the SEC at this point.I'm not sure we've ever had an actual news source report that Powe has been cleared in years past. I'm not ready to say that Powe will get in yet, since he hasn't even...
The Powe-Tron is operational
Al Gore is really going to hate us. Videoboard Test from replayreb on VimeoIf my knowledge of Lafayette county geography serves me right, the first shot is from highway 6 on the western side of town and the second is from somewhere around the Confederate cemetery or Tad Pad rear parking lot. Why...
Post-game Analysis
I had surgery Friday morning under general anesthesia. Not only was I still tired and sore Saturday, I couldn’t drink, what with all the painkillers swimming in my system. I tell you that to tell you this: my intent is for these weekly postgame write-ups to be drunken, shit-talkin’ rants,...
