By Laurence Hilliard
The College World Series, beginning June 12, has become a big deal in the sports world. But that hasn’t always been the case.
For more than three decades from its beginning in 1947, the CWS attracted very little notice. You probably had to scan the agate page of your daily newspaper to know what was happening.
It was ESPN beginning to televise games in 1980 that brought greater attention to the event.

Peggy's Ponderings 06-04-2026
By Peggy Sims
With the thermometer climbing into the suffocating unbearable to be outside weather, I have had to give up sitting on my back porch and am now sequestered inside where our air conditioning is keeping me cool and companionable, (I get really mean when I get hot). That hot, sticky, hard to breathe feeling that comes over me when I begin to sweat makes me argumental to say the least. My husband tries to keep me cool.

Two of the lynchpins of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign were oft-repeated claims he would deal with the affordability issue and entangle us in no new wars. Not only has he proposed no policy intended to lower prices, he has done exactly the opposite. He has also, disastrously, reneged on his no new wars promise. Then there was his promise to take revenge on anyone he perceives as an enemy or even not being totally loyal to him. On that one he has been appallingly successful.

Millsaps College edging out Ole Miss was among the interesting takeaways from the recent update to a key earnings metric by the U.S. Department of Education. The DOE released College Scorecard data showing median annual earnings for college graduates four years after they graduate.
Millsaps’ median graduate earnings of $67,303 just beat the $66,243 reported for Ole Miss/UMMC.
MUW at $62,987 joined these two as the only four-year institutions topping the national average of $60,428.

Car tags in Mississippi typically cost between $300 and $700 a year. In the first year of ownership, the bill often runs higher still - somewhere between $800 and $1,500. Cross the state line into Arkansas or Alabama, and the same car tag will cost you about half as much.
Put aside, for a moment, what this says about car tags. What does it say about Mississippi politics?
This is a state where voters consistently elect conservative leaders at every level of government. And yet we still end up with some of the highest car tag costs in the country.
