when she went on a school trip to

“Once we got back, my dad was

Greg Andrews had some good
news for supervisors at Monday’s

Will Democrats surge in the South? What to watch on Tuesday

Mississippi, Kentucky and Virginia
holding off-year elections today
By STEVE PEOPLES
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — While
much of the political world
is focused on 2020, a hand-
ful of states are hosting
off-year elections on Tues-
day. The stakes are high in
the local races, but there
are significant national
implications as well. Pres-
ident Donald Trump has
invested time and energy
into gubernatorial races in
Kentucky and Mississippi,
where Democrats believe
they have rare pickup op-
portunities in the deep-
red South. At the same
time, Virginia Republicans
could lose their narrow
majorities in the state
house, which would repre-
sent a serious warning to
Republicans everywhere
heading into 2020.
Here are the top sto-
rylines to watch:
Will Republicans hit
rock bottom in the
suburbs?
Virginia Democrats
need to pick up just a hand-
ful of seats to seize control
of their state House of
Delegates and Senate for
the first time in more than
two decades. The races to
watch are set in the sub-
urbs, where shifting de-
mographics and Trump’s
unpopularity have trans-
formed reliably red, leafy
cul-de-sacs into fiery po-
litical battlegrounds. Be-
yond Virginia, Democrats
need strong support from
suburban voters in Missis-
sippi and Kentucky if they
hope to win those gov-
ernorships as well. Even
modest gains for Demo-
crats in the suburbs would
spark pangs of anxiety for
Republicans up and down
the ballot heading into the
next election cycle.
Can Trump drag
Bevin to victory?
Perhaps more than any
other candidate on Tues-
day, Kentucky Republican
Gov. Matt Bevin’s fate is
tied to Trump. The first-
term governor has wel-
comed a parade of Trump-
world figures, including
Trump himself, to the state
to energize his sputtering
campaign. Bevin needs the
help. His aggressive brand
of politics has proved
deeply unpopular, despite

Dow hits record as stock market rally extends into 5th week
By STAN CHOE and

AP Business Writers
NEW YORK — The
Dow Jones Industrial Av-
erage returned to a record
on Monday, joining other
market gauges at all-time
highs, as the stock mar-
ket’s rally carried into a
fifth week.
Oil producers, banks
and other stocks that do
well when the economy
is strengthening again
led the way. It’s a notable
shift in leadership follow-
ing months of struggles
for what Wall Street calls
“cyclical” stocks, which
lagged due to worries
about trade wars and the
slowing global economy.
Behind the resurgence
for cyclicals are rising
hopes that the United
States and China are
making progress in ne-
gotiations on their trade
dispute, or at least that
they’re no longer mak-
ing it worse. Reports last
week also showed that the
job market is continuing to
grow, corporate profits ar-
en’t doing as badly as Wall
Street expected and inter-
est rates will likely remain
low for a while.
Even in manufacturing,
which has been hit partic-
ularly hard by President
Donald Trump’s trade
war, investors saw some
hopes that things may be
hitting bottom soon.
The Dow climbed
114.75 points, or 0.4 per-
cent, to 27,462.11 and sur-
passed its prior all-time
high set in July.

Why Trump tariffs haven’t revitalized American steelmakers
By BANI SAPRA

AP Business Writers
WASHINGTON —
President Donald Trump’s
move last year to tax im-
ported steel triggered
jeers but also cheers. Its
goal — to raise steel pric-
es — threatened to hurt
the legions of U.S. manu-
facturers that depend on
steel.
But at least it would
benefit U.S. steel compa-
nies and the Americans
who work for them. That
was the idea, anyway.

Yet Trump’s 25 percent
tariffs, it turns out, have
done little for the people
they were supposed to
help. After enjoying a brief
tariff-induced sugar high
last year, American steel-
makers are reeling. Steel
prices and company earn-
ings have sunk. Investors
have dumped their stocks.
The industry has added
just 1,800 jobs since Feb-
ruary 2018, the month be-
fore the tariffs took effect.
That’s a mere rounding
error in a job market of

Murry, 28, a murder sus-
pect in a separate case
whom MDOC released
from custody on Oct. 9,
according to previous re-
porting by The Dispatch.
He turned himself in to
LCADC a day later.
Murry was arrested in
August 2018 for the mur-
der of Starkville resident
Jarrel Ward. At the time
of Ward’s death, the sus-
pect was out on parole for
a 2015 marijuana charge.
“They’re able to do
some things we can’t in
trying to get these back
taxes,” Andrews said.
“For us, there’s about
$300,000 we can’t collect
each year, so if you calcu-
late that over seven years,
you’re looking at about
$2 million. How much
we’ll be able to get, I don’t
know. But whatever we
get, will be more than we
would be getting other-
wise. It’s a good deal for
the county.”
Strange said the work
his company does is really
an extension of county tax
collector offices.
“Most of these coun-
ties just don’t have the
staff to do this work,” he
said. “It’s a lot of work,
especially for tax offices
that may have only a few
employees. They have
other duties to fulfill,
but our company has the
manpower dedicated to
this one thing. It’s proven
to be successful for the

The life cycle of the
Mississippi Cicada
I
f politicians were in-
sects — and I’m not
saying they aren’t
— they would likely be
cicadas.
Cicadas spent most
of their existence living
quietly underground,
emerging as adults and
making lots of noise
— especially the male
cicadas. It’s about the
only thing anyone ever Slim Smith
notices about cicadas.
They make a helluva
racket.
Depending on the species, the life cycle of the
cicada ranges anywhere from one or two years to
17 years.
In Mississippi, the dominant species of cicada
is one follows a four-year cycle.
It is known as Cicada Republicanus.
For the previous three years, Mississippi’s Re-
publican cicadas, who control all three branches
of our state government, have rested comfortably
and quietly in their subterranean burrows.
For those three years, they’ve uttered scarcely
a peep on the issues that most affect Mississippi-
ans — deteriorating roads and bridges, chronical-
ly underfunded public education at every level,
the collapse of our rural hospitals, and the inabil-
ity of almost 300,000 working people in our state
to have health insurance that would be provided
through Medicaid expansion.
That is not to say the Cicada Republicanus
haven’t been busy, though.
In the past three years, they’ve been working
deep in their burrows, slashing taxes for big
corporations, plotting new under-the-table ways
to funnel tax dollars to the private schools you
can’t afford to send your kids to, gutting budgets
of state agencies we rely on for essential services
and generally looking out for wealthy Mississippi-
ans, which in our state is a relatively small group.
But in the fourth year of their cycle, Cicada
Republicanus emerge from the safety of their
dark holes and have to give an accounting for the
underground activities. It’s scary out here in the
daylight. There just aren’t enough rich Mississip-
pians to ensure their survival.
We call this stage of Cicada Republicanus de-
velopment the Election Cycle, a period best noted
for all the noise they make on issues they’ve been
ignoring.
The chirping began in January in the Cica-
da Republicanus-controlled Legislature. They
passed a band-aid of an infrastructure bill — ap-
propriating $1.2 billion to solve a $3.5 billion prob-
lem. They also tossed a bone to public education,
not by providing the funds our public schools
need — they would rather die than do that — but
by trying to pander to teachers through a $1,500
pay raise. It started out as a $4,000 raise, but they
quickly realized that — well, let’s face it — teach-
ers just don’t deserve that kind of money.
They’ve chirped only a little about the plight of
rural hospitals or expanding Medicaid because,
of course, Obama.
But they promise these problems will just go
away if people will just shut up and get an extra
job or two and move someplace civilized enough
to be worthy of hospital access.
Yes, in the Election Cycle, the Cicada Republi-
canus make vague promises to fix all the prob-
lems they themselves have been responsible for
during the previous three years.
Today is Election Day. And if nothing else is
accomplished today at least the noise will end.
Cicada Republicanus will retreat again into the
depths, make their dark deals, and wait for three
years, just long enough for us to have forgotten all
their unkept promises.
And the cycle will repeat itself.
Unless, of course, the voters decide otherwise.
Until now, the chirping of Cicadas Republi-
canus has drowned out the voices calling for
accountability.
Today, it’s your voice that will be heard at the
one place where it matters: the voting booth.

Voice of the people
A call for support, rather than criticism,
of entrepreneurs
I have been back in the area for 30 years now, and
I am constantly reminded why I left in the first place.
I have never written to the paper before, and I have
been reluctant to even write. However, I think about
my journey as a man that lives a life of integrity and
love, so I couldn’t stand on the sidelines any longer.
The stench of racism has always been a topic of con-
cern for me in this “Friendly City.” It was so overbear-
ing that I couldn’t wait to leave this city when I came
of age. Life brought me back here, and I had hopes
that this town progressed, but it has gotten worse.
I have watched a minority company get attacked
constantly in the newspaper, airing out every piece
of dirty laundry that can be found. It bothers me be-
cause, as a white male, I have often heard statements
concerning African Americans to “pick themselves
up by their own boot straps” yet when one tries, we
ridicule them for every misstep and trial. Yet, this is
how this country was established. We as Americans
should take pride in fellow Americans taking the
steps to better themselves. We should champion
them on the way there. We should provide advice,
guidance and support for the brave trailblazers called
entrepreneurs. I wonder if any of the critics that boast
of being successful business owners, have reached
out a hand to help or mentor some of the up and
coming. I can answer that without asking, because
it’s not about trying to protect the City of Columbus
instead it’s about spreading the negative and causing
division.
There has never been anything great built that was
birthed out of division. I have read the stories of many
“Greats” and there is something common throughout
every story, and that is trials and hardships. Many of
those great men and women we admire today have
had failed business, failed relationships and even tax
liens. However, as people, we are conditioned to only
remember the highlights, but it is the lowlights that
make “The Greats.”
There is something else that is common through-
out their stories and that is critics. They all had
critics that tried to kick them when they were down
and point out every flaw. Now we often look at history
and wonder how those critics could miss the great-
ness of those people, like Martin Luther King Jr. I am
convinced that it was because they didn’t want to see
the truth. They didn’t want to see the truth because
of a heart condition. That heart condition is called
hatred. To the haters out there, be careful what you
say, because it puts you in a glass house.
Those who offer the most criticism of these
minority businesses being corrupt and law breakers
likely have issues of their own. Prominent business
owners can be involved in illegal activities them-
selves. And for one in particular, I wonder if the
people who tout you as a strong businessman would
realize you didn’t build a business; you inherited a
nest egg.
To the future Greats, Keep Pushing. I am cheering
you on!

Wants litter and noise laws better enforced
I read with interest the comments from Joe Dillon
about the good things to enjoy and appreciate in
Columbus. I agree with many of those observations.
My family has lived and worked in the city for some
23 years and decided to purchase a home and remain
here upon retirement. Having said that, I must point
out some very serious problems confronting us and
other residents.
For example, the street in front of my house is
lined with trash every day. We pick up the trash but
by the next day there is often more trash than the pre-
vious day. Trash pick ups don’t solve the problem.
In addition, each and every day we are bombarded
with booming music (racket) from passing cars that
shake our windows and walls. Try sleeping or enjoy-
ing your home under those conditions.
The police need to take back the streets of Colum-
bus. Littering and disturbing the peace are against
the law. These might seem like rather minor offenses
buty they serve to reduce the quality of life as well as
the economic value of our homes and properties. Do
you think that industry/business or retirees want to
reside in such an environment?
We have received help and support from our city
councilman, Stephen Jones, but things are getting

Life is too short to have it ruined by a few people

In response to letter by Gross
Trump is the greatest president since Washington?
What la-la land does that come from (letter Nov 4).
For starters, the names of Lincoln, T. and F. Roos-
evelt, and Eisenhower stand out along with many
other presidents whose careers and presidencies
were decidedly superior. Their contributions remain
as major legacies for our country and for the genera-
tions that followed them.
I challenge you to name one positive attribute or
accomplishment that Trump has or has made which is
comparable to what these and many other presidents
achieved. It is clear that Trump is untruthful much of
the time, either deliberately or out of ignorance. He
childishly denigrates numerous fine people of both
parties as traitors, scum, or worse. He brings out
the worst in people instead of the best. He is a hate
monger. He is an abysmal role model for young peo-
ple. He has played on the divisions in our country and
made them worse instead of better. He has appointed
crooked cabinet members (some already in prison
and others already forced out of office for unaccept-
able behaviors). He has filled secretarial positions
(Education, Interior, etc) with industry-friendly
people who are trying to gut public education, hinder
our world-class governmental scientific research,
and reduce protection of our health and the health
of living systems from air, water, and land pollution,
among others. He denies the scientific consensus on
climate change which endangers the earth’s future.
And perhaps worst of all, he seems willing to repeat-
edly break established laws and claims he is above
the law.
I’m in my eighth decade of life and see Trump as
by far the worst president in my lifetime. He is a dan-
ger to our way of life, to humanity, and to the world.
This is not a party issue, it speaks to our judgment
and quality as citizens and human beings. It is puz-
zling, to say the least, if you cannot see this.

Disagrees with calls for impeachment
Definition of insanity is: lunacy, derangement, cra-
ziness, feeble mindedness, psychosis and many other
terms, but point is made.
Senator Graham said at the conformation hear-
ing of Judge Kavanaugh, “God help us if y’all (the
Democrats) get in charge. Friends we see what he
was talking about. It’s a fact the Democrats started
talking impeachment hours after Trump’s inaugu-
ration. First, it was his personal life they attacked,
then his business practices, finally the granddaddy
of all, Russian collision which took two years, tens
of millions of dollars and nothing was proven. Well
now a phone call to the Ukraine and they got him. To
seal the deal we’ve got a “whistle blower.” That really
got em going. The only problem is, all the hearings
are done in private, except when they leak some
nugget to the media to try to improve their position.
If you don’t care about the future of America, you are
against Trump.
Some facts in case you missed them. In 2016, the
Dow was in the 16-18,000 range. On Friday it closed
at 27,347. Impeach him! In 2016, unemployment was
at 4.9 percent, today it is 3.5 percent. Impeach him!
The military killed the #1 and #2 ISIS leaders under
his watch. Impeach him! He wants to secure our
borders, protect the unborn and lower taxes. Impeach
him! He is against socialism and is for nationalism.
Impeach him! He is putting common sense judges on
the courts. Impeach him! He is for “Making Ameri-
ca Great Again” and putting pride back in being an
American. Impeach him! Am I missing something
here? I don’t think I am educated beyond my in-
telligence. I was a candy salesman once, slept at a
Holiday Inn Express once or twice and but I do think
I have some common sense. As President Reagan
said, ”The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that
they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that
isn’t so.”
Pray for America. We are living in perilous times.

Health tips from Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen
The nose knows: Sleep
deprivation and food
choices
Multitalented vaude-
villian Jimmy Durante
(1893-1980) often made
fun of his oversized nose
calling it his “schnozzo-
la.” He loved to declare
“the nose knows” — it
was one of his signature
phrases — but he proba-
bly didn’t have a clue that
the nose might know a bit
too much if you’re sleep
deprived.
When you’re tired, you
may seek out high-ener-
gy, calorie-dense foods,
and it’s your nose that
tracks them down. But
how does sleep depriva-
tion sharpen your sense
of smell? It happens in
the brain.
Using a functioning
MRI, researchers discov-
ered that two cortexes
in the brain that control
food intake don’t commu-
nicate very well if you’ve
only had four hours of
sleep. They found that
when sleep-deprived par-
ticipants were presented
with an array of food
choices, the foods that
smelled most desirable
were those loaded with
fats and sugars.
In the U.S., 30 percent
of folks sleep less than
six hours a night. That’s
around the same percent-
age of Americans who
are obese. Coincidence?
Not entirely.

what was really happen-
ing, how it was going to be
24-7, a life changer.”
Now a Columbus res-
ident, pharmacist and
mother of two, Carson
is one of about 393,000
Mississippians living with
diabetes, according to
numbers from the Diabe-
tes Foundation of Missis-
sippi. While Carson said
the condition requires
constant managing — she
has to check her blood
sugar regularly and count
her carbs before every
meal so she can admin-
ister the proper dose of
insulin to keep sugar in
the necessary range — it
doesn’t keep her from do-
ing anything she wants to
do.
“I can honestly now do
anything, it’s just I have
to take a few extra steps,”
Carson said. “If I want to
exercise, I have to be sure
I have my glucose tabs.
... If I want to eat a piece
of cake, I can eat it, I just
have to know the carbs
and then give myself in-
sulin.”
Helping Mississippians
Though more than
30 million people in the
U.S. have been diagnosed
with diabetes according
to the American Diabe-
tes Association’s website,
Mississippi is one of the
states with the highest
number, said Hannah
Byrd, public relations and
marketing coordinator for
the Diabetes Foundation
in Mississippi. A report
from the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Preven-
tion said in 2017 the state
ranked third in the nation
for overall diabetes. High
rates of obesity through-
out the state — 70 percent
of adults and 40 percent of
children ages 2-5 — con-
tribute to those numbers.
The foundation works
with diabetics and their
families throughout the
state, organizing con-
ferences and events to
chronical-
ly sleep
deprived,
we’ve got
a plan
for you:
Train
your nose
to love
healthy
foods.
Start
Drs. Oz and Roizen
with what
you like.
Garlicky
salmon burgers or salad
greens, for instance. Get
into the aromas.
Then, tickle your
schnozzola with foods
that seem more exotic
to you. Fennel or cod,
perhaps. You can learn
to sniff out what’s good
for you.
Head to bed earlier,
and make your bedroom
quiet (no TV or digital
stuff). You’ll feel better
and shed a few pounds.
What can daily aspirin
do for you?
Earlier this year,
“Jeopardy” host Alex
Trebek was diagnosed
with stage 4 pancreatic
cancer. After his initial
treatment, the cancer
aggressively reappeared.
Now he says he’s come to with half a glass of warm
terms with the fact that
the five-year survival rate For those 50-59 with a
is around 10 percent.
Risk factors include
smoking; obesity;
diabetes; pancreatitis;
cirrhosis or hepatitis B;
toxic chemical exposure;
a family history; and
help teach patients how
to manage the disease
and raise money to help
pay for medications and
equipment. The founda-
tion also works to raise
awareness of the disease
— November is National
Diabetes Month — and
correct misconceptions.
“People will always
say, ‘You can’t have sugar
or you have to eat every-
thing sugar-free.’ And
that’s just not true,” Byrd
said. “We’re big on por-
tion control. So whereas
one kid might eat 10 piec-
es of candy, a kid with
diabetes would eat less.
But as long as you ... have
the insulin to correct and
count your carbs, you can
really eat whatever you
want to.”
Byrd also talked about
the difference between
Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1
diabetes occurs when the
pancreas can’t produce
insulin at all. Those di-
agnosed with it are com-
pletely dependent on insu-
lin and can’t manage the
disease with a strict diet
or medication, said Byrd.
Though it’s typically as-
sociated with juveniles
— Carson was older than
average when she was di-
agnosed at almost 17 — it
can also occur in adults.
Type 2 occurs when
the pancreas becomes in-
sulin-resistance but still
works, and individuals
diagnosed can manage it
with strict eating habits
and a healthy lifestyle,
Byrd said. She added it’s
not always the case that
those with Type 2 diabe-
tes are overweight. About
75 percent of Mississip-
pians with diabetes have
Type 2.
The CDC puts the
costs of the disease at
$245 billion nationally
between equipment and
medication, costs of doc-
tors’ visits and lost wages.
That’s particularly a
problem in Mississippi,
said Byrd.

Clearly,
you want
to avoid
pancreat-
ic cancer.
Maybe
you can!
A 2016
study
found
that a
daily aspirin regimen
may reduce your chance
of developing it by 50
percent. But does that
mean folks at risk for
pancreatic cancer should
take a daily aspirin?
It depends on a couple
of things, like your heart
health and the fact that,
in addition to pancreatic
cancer, aspirin helps
prevent 11 other cancers,
including cancers of the
colon and breast. The
new heart attack preven-
tion guidelines for daily
aspirin (81 mg) help bal-
ance the risk of internal
bleeding or ulcers with
aspirin’s far-reaching
benefits.
If you’ve had a heart
attack, take aspirin as
prescribed — always
water before and after.

10 percent for developing
cardiovascular disease,
the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force rec-
ommends daily aspirin.

“Because the poverty
rate (in Mississippi) is
so high, there’s a lot of
people that do not have
health insurance at all
or have health insur-
ance that does not cover
very much,” Byrd said.
“A vial of insulin can run
anywhere from $500 to
$2,000 without health in-
surance.”
Day-to-day
For Carson and her
family, living with Type
1 has become part of her
routine.
“It’s such an invest-
ed part of our life every

more diligent monitoring

Chitsey capped the
opening run with a 3-point-

With Schaefer remain-

sideline as he rotated his
entire bench, sophomore
center Jessika Carter took
charge — adding 10 of her
game-high 27 points in the
opening quarter.
“They got me the ball
and I had to finish,” Carter
said. “I’ve got big shoes to
fill, so I just finished.”
“If you can get 10 re-
bounds and 14, 16 points
from Jess, that’s going to
help us win a lot of ball
games,” Schaefer added.

New coach, new faces and new
opponents for defending champion MUW
By Theo Derosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
On Oct. 7, Drew John-
son was bowhunting be-
hind his house in Cale-
donia when his job hunt
came to an end.
Johnson, a graduate
student at the Mississip-
pi University for Women,
spent the past year as an
assistant coach with the
Owls’ men’s basketball
team. But in early Octo-
ber, when head women’s
coach Howard White Jr.
left to take an assistant
position at Edward Wa-
ters College in Jackson-
ville, Johnson decided to
apply to fill the vacancy.
He thought he’d held
his own in both a phone
interview and an inter-
view on campus, but when
the phone call from MUW
athletic director Jason Tr-
ufant came, he wasn’t ex-
pecting it.
“Ruined my hunt,”
Johnson said. “But, you
know, it’s OK.”
When Trufant ex-
plained why he was call-
Alabama preparing for No. 1 LSU with No. 2 Tide the favorite
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
— Alabama coach Nick
Saban didn’t wait to be
asked if he approaches
a game against the No. 1
ranked team differently
than he does other oppo-
nents.
“You guys always ask
me what are you going
to do different this week
because you’re playing
the No. 1 team in the
country,” Saban said
Monday. “Well, every
game that we play is an
important game, espe-
cially when you’re play-
ing in the SEC, especial-
ly when you’re playing
in the division. And this
is most certainly an im-
portant game.
“But if there was a
better way to do it, we’d
already be doing it.”
There is no down-
playing the importance
of Saturday’s showdown
between No. 1 LSU at

In FIU coach Jeremy
Ballad’s first season in
2018-2019, the Panthers
went 20-14. Redshirt se-
nior Devon Andrews was
named to the All-Confer-
ence USA preseason team
after leading the team in
scoring with 15.3 points
per game while grabbing
5.1 rebounds a night in
his junior season. FIU
was picked to finish 10th
in Conference USA in the
league’s preseason poll.
ing, the disturbance was
forgiven.
“Whenever he told me,
‘We want to offer you the
job,’ literally everything
just kind of blurred out,”
Johnson said.
Out in the woods with
his brother — now his
student assistant — John-
son’s head spun as he
tried to process the news.
Not ideal for the hunt.
“After I got the phone
call, you go back to being
silent in the woods ... it’s
very hard,” he said.
Still juggling the class-
es he needs to graduate
in May with his master’s
in public health, Johnson
had just been handed the
reins of the defending US-
CAA national champions.
No biggie.
“No pressure,” John-
son said, smiling. “No
pressure. No pressure.”
Alright, maybe a little.
“It’s very big shoes to
fill,” Johnson admitted.
“What Coach White did
here is remarkable, and
I’ve never heard of an in-
stance where someone

“It’s not an easy open-
er,” MSU coach Ben
Howland said. “They’re a
very difficult team to play.
They force a lot of turn-
overs with their style of
play.”
The Panthers like to
employ small lineups,
sometimes rolling with
four to five guards at a
time. This could bode
well for the Bulldogs con-
sidering their frontcourt
depth, but Howland and

comes in the first year of
the program and wins a
national championship.
That’s unheard of — at
least, I’ve never heard of
it. I understand the lega-
cy that Coach White left
behind just in his short
time here, and I want to
pick up where he left off.
I definitely want to carry
this tradition as far as it’ll
go. He left behind a great
legacy, and I just want to
be a part of that and leave
my own stamp on it if I
can.”
The Owls are just one
year removed from reviv-
al after the school went 15
years without a basketball
program, and what a year
it was. White, the former
head coach at Concordia
College in Alabama, led
The W to a 21-6 season
capped off with a 69-46
win over Maine-Fort Kent
in the USCAA champion-
ship game.
This spring, the school
was granted entrance
into NCAA Division III,
but the Owls are still on
a provisionary period that
a chance to win the na-
tional championship,”
Orgeron said. “We know
what’s at stake but we
don’t talk about that. ... I
want our guys loose and
relaxed and go play our
football game.”
Big games have be-
come old hat at Alabama,
and they’re all big in
the rivalry between the
Southeastern Confer-
ence Western Division’s
top programs. They’re
hardly uncommon at
LSU, which already has
seven wins over top 10
teams the past two sea-
sons.
It’s not even the first
1 versus 2 regular-sea-
son matchup between
Alabama and LSU. That
came in 2011, when No.
1 LSU won 9-6 in over-
time in a game noted for
field goals made and oth-
erwise.
Alabama won the
national title game re-
match 21-0.
company are wary of the
speed of FIU.
“They set a lot of trail
ball screens, so we’re em-
phasizing guarding that,”
MSU forward Prince
Oduro said. “We’ve been
doing a lot of running
the past few practices
because they get up and
down a lot. We should
be able to compete with
them at their level.”
MSU’s fifth-year coach
wouldn’t reveal if D.J.
lasts at least two years.
That means The W is
“unattached,” not yet a
member of a Division III
conference, and Johnson
is trying to schedule as
many DIII teams as he
can — especially early in
the season before confer-
ence play leaves the Owls
as the odd school out.
The change in coach-
ing and in competition
complicates things for
the Owls, five of whom
return from last season’s
title team. But senior for-
ward MyNeka Frazier ex-
pressed confidence that
The W won’t miss a beat
when its season starts
Saturday against South-
eastern Baptist in Laurel.
“We’re gonna have
some new rules,” Frazier
said. “We do things a lit-
tle different. Hopefully we
just have the same goal as
last year.”
If the Owls can stay
focused and adjust to the
new faces they’ll see — a
new coach, new team-
mates and new opponents
— Frazier doesn’t think
There is one new twist
to the matchup: The
high-scoring, pass-hap-
py offenses.
This one could feature
two of college football’s
top passers, Tagovailoa
and LSU’s Joe Burrow.
Tagovailoa missed the
Arkansas game after
having surgery for a
high right ankle sprain.
He did participate in two
practices during last
week’s open date. Saban
said Tagovailoa’s status
will “be a game-time de-
cision.”
“We’ll see where he’s
at (Monday) and then
we’ll manage the reps
accordingly,” the coach
said. “When I say that,
we cannot predict. If he
goes out there today and
he looks good, then his
rep count is going to go
up and we’ll prepare him
as if he’s going to have
an opportunity to play in
the game. If he has a set-
back during the week,

linar will start at the two
guard Tuesday with Nick
Weatherspoon beginning
his 10-game suspension,
forcing Tyson Carter to
point guard. But he ac-
knowledged both Molinar
and Stewart need to be
ready to play meaningful
minutes.
“We don’t have a lot of
experience there,” How-
land said. “This is their
first college game coming

they can do merely as
well as last year’s squad.
She knows more can be
achieved.
“We want to do bet-
ter than last year,” Fra-
zier said. “Cut our losses
down, cut our turnovers
down.”
She knows, as does
Johnson, what the Owls
do best — using their
speed to cut into defenses;
scoring inside efficiently
— and knows maximiz-
ing those aspects of their
game can get them back
to the top.
But as always, there
are things to work on.
“We need to work on
getting the ball up the
court, getting our big
players right and han-
dling the ball a little bet-
ter,” Frazier said.
For East Mississip-
pi Community College
transfer forward Kyla
Temple, a Columbus High
product, Frazier’s words
perhaps apply doubly.
The 5-10 junior — one of
the Owls’ tallest players
— still knows she needs
you can’t really control
that, but that would
change the plan.”
Mac Jones started for
the Tide against Arkan-
sas.
LSU has already had
some game-week news.
Orgeron said Monday
that pass-rushing out-
side linebacker Michael
Divinity has left the
team for personal rea-
sons.
Divinity’s absence
doesn’t change LSU’s
goal to end its eight-
game losing streak
against Alabama, includ-
ing a 29-0 defeat last sea-
son.
“If we’d have won
eight games in a row, I
wouldn’t say hey we’re
going to win just be-
cause we’ve won eight
games in a row,” Org-
eron said. “It just doesn’t
happen that way. Is it
motivation for the fans?
Is it motivation for me?
Yes it is, but we’re not
up. That’s why the exhibi-
tions have been so benefi-
cial. There’s no question
we’ll miss Nick, he’s one
of the most experienced
guys we have in the pro-
gram.”
After opening against
the Panthers Tuesday,
MSU will host Sam Hous-
ton State at 7 p.m. Friday.
What KenPom rankings say
According to KenPom.
com, Mississippi State is
3B
to work on ball security as
she continues to develop.
Frazier, senior forward
Qiayon Bailey and junior
forward Meosha Bar-
num (temporarily side-
lined with a knee injury)
are the Owls’ only three
players 6 feet or taller. In
short, The W knows it’s
undersized.
“We don’t have the
size, but we do have the
speed and the talent to
get the mission done,”
Temple said. “We play
like the size is there. It’s
not there, but it’s in us.”
That mentality, John-
son said, is evident in
many forms when the
Owls hit the court this
fall. At the end of each
practice, the team breaks
it down with “national
champs on three,” and it
makes Johnson happy to
observe.
“They definitely want
something for them-
selves, and I think that’s
the first step toward being
a good team is wanting it,”
he said. “I’m very excited
to coach this group.”
going to use that at all.
“This is a new team,
new game.”
This will be the 13th
consecutive meeting
when both teams are
ranked and the seventh
during that span when
both were ranked in the
top 10. These teams are
used to dealing with big-
game hype, especially
the Tide.
“I feel like for games
week to week, especially
for big games like this,
we always preach calm
before the storm,” Ala-
bama right tackle Jed-
rick Wills Jr. said. “Only
before the game, just fo-
cus on what you’re doing
in the game plan, pre-
pare for what’s coming
and then when the game
comes, then you can ex-
plode with all the excite-
ment that’s been build-
ing up to that point.”

70. The basketball analyt-
ics website gives the Bull-
dogs a 94 percent chance
of taking home a victory.
KenPom.com lists
MSU as the 53rd best
team in the nation enter-
ing Tuesday, while FIU is
ranked 204th out of 353

no juniors and one soph-
omore on the roster, the
Rams relied on a host
of freshmen to capture
their fourth state title in
the past five years. But
ninth graders CJ Seroux,
Jonah Harrison and Luke
Phillips answered the
call, finishing back to
back to back at sixth, sev-
enth and eighth place in
the state meet.
“I was really proud of
all the freshmen,” senior
Ethan Sevier said. “They
seniors go out with one fi-
nal title, but they did it in

comprising the places of
the top five runners, was

stretches to do before
running. That kind of
style, Sevier said, helps
a lot.
“It just kind of gave
you that extra indepen-
dence and a little more
self-drive and self-de-
termination, which in a
sport like cross country,
an individual sport, is re-
ally, really important,” he
said.
With Webber not there
to enforce rules, Sevi-

a lot of lessons and used
them at state. It was cool
to see.”
When that test came,
the Rams aced it. All but
one runner set a new per-
sonal record in the 5K
race.
“It’s just something
about running at state,”
Sevier said. “It’s just that
state meet. Everyone
shaves time off their PR.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov.
5). This solar return finds you
emotionally flexible and vibrant.
Inspiration shows up in the form
of people you want to be like
and people you don’t want to be
like. You’ll love the relationship
dynamics coming up. Your
role will be new and different.
You’ll wipe the slate clean of
expectation and establish new
patterns. Cancer and Libra adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 8,
10, 3, 38 and 5.
BABY BLUES ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You understand something
intellectually that you don’t
understand emotionally or vice
versa. Keep trying to engage
more of yourself in the solution
through a combination of action
and reflection.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Where is this going? Think
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
about the end, and you’ll do all
the other parts better. Bonus:
Keeping the end in mind will
also help you avoid wasting
time and suffering unneces-
sarily.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). Just as every bit of your
body has a DNA signature, your
energy has a signature. It goes
wherever you go. You don’t
even have to touch anything for
that signature to be felt while
you’re there or left behind in
your wake.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). The stakes are high, not
because something terrible will
happen if you lose, but because
the time it takes to play the
game is time you’ll never get
back.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
People have backward ways of
saying they miss you. They
might complain about your
absence instead of celebrat-
ing your presence when they
have it. You’ll have to mentally
reinterpret things to get the true
message.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The success or failure of a
venture will hinge on communi-
cation. You will listen carefully,
stay engaged over the entire
course of a cycle and express
yourself so as to have the best
chance at being heard and
understood.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Typically, life can be taken in
small steps, just not today.
Here comes a scenario that
requires certainty and boldness
-- a chasm you can’t cross in
in two jumps. Back up, get a
running start, and commit to
your one big leap.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You may be very adept at
a thing, but you’re not really a
master of it until you can effec-
tively teach it. You’ll be forced
to be critically aware of what
you’d normally do automatical-
ly. You’ll grow in confidence and
insight.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Those who accept and
love you offer a warm sort of
attention that’s very different
from the attention you’ll receive
from those who are getting to
know you, which you’ll experi-
ence as much more visceral and
intense.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). When it comes to relation-
ships of any kind -- professional,
romantic, platonic, financial or
other -- the same rule applies.
People are attractive in inverse
proportion to how needy they
are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’ll be building your
team. Keep in mind that groups
with diverse talents are the
strongest. Just because a
person can’t keep up with you
in certain regards doesn’t mean
he or she wouldn’t make a
terrific addition to your life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). A sad clown isn’t an
oxymoron of an archetype so
much as an astute observation
of funny people. Humor is a way
to turn sadness outward instead
of inward. You’ll forget about
that as they laugh and love you
today.
