Prime-Time is Looking for a Home

Jackson State University Head Football Coach Deion Sanders is looking for a home:


 

JJ has a suggestion for Coach Sanders and it is a serious one. Marcus Dupree is well-known in Mississippi as are his troubles. Buy that home/ranch of his up in Madison County. It's great publicity for you, you get what you want, and an aging legend gets a hand.

Guessing there’s no residency requirement

Entergy might sell him a lot on Hico.

He's welcome to live with me free. I have a double wide on 5 acres next to the landfill in Pearl.

I've heard from several Realtors that Deion was buying the Blackmon's place near Flora.

I hear a developer is going to build houses on the water just south of the Waste Water Treatment Plant near Savannah Street. It has great views I hear. Just a tad bit of acidity and poop but, you can’t win them all.

There are a few spreads that will more than meet what Coach Sanders requires. Wish him nothing but the best in finding a home and am sure he will have great neighbors no matter where he resides.

I thought coaches got free digs from the school. This guy is starting off as exactly the clown we all know him to be. All he left out of the requirements is: "Must have four strong but thin saplings out front that I can chain my pits to".

8:13 - Aww, now what an ugly thing to say.

When my son was nine he mailed out baseball cards to many famous players asking for a signature. Deion was one of the only ones who signed and sent it back. He was a great ball player and I'll bet he's a great guy. He'll be a first class neighbor wherever he goes.

Why would there be a residency requirement? Do you think the city of Jackson has anything to do with JSU?

He will be like the 6th coach in 2 years?

I just read where his son was quarterback at Trinity Christian and is currently committed to Florida Atlantic and has gotten and offer to attend JSU. This is sort of strange to me. Really none of my business, but it just seems strange. I know that JSU wants a stadium and UMMC needs the space at Jackson Memorial. Where will they build the new stadium and how big are the key questions. Attendance is very low. Please don’t say your going to build a stadium that holds 50k plus people. That won’t work. With all that money one of the former JSU presidents “misplaced” it would pay for a nice stadium. MVSU has aluminum bleachers and does the job it was intended. I would say stick to
a design like that or one such as Petal High School. Now that’s a state of the art stadium to serve needs. Cast in place concrete will be way out of budget.

" I know that JSU wants a stadium and UMMC needs the space at Jackson Memorial. Where will they build the new stadium and how big are the key questions. "

No matter how any of this unfolds, it's sure to be funny.

However, I do like the Lake Hico idea for a new stadium and a Coach's crib.

Is "crib"still a word ?

Anyway, it will still be funny to watch.

While I agree that JSU does not need a 50k seat stadium, a 30k seat multi-purpose stadium would be a great deal for JSU. The key is multi-purpose stadium to hold as many types of events as possible to give the place as much opportunity as possible to make money. We know that JSU will not get a stadium anytime soon though, unless the powers at UMMC get some serious muscle to the land they want.

As far as where the coach stays, that's his business. The guy apparently has plenty of money, and rightfully wants acreage to insure some sort of privacy. What's wrong with that?

JSU doesn't want a 30k seat stadium. They have been demanding a 50-60k seat DOMED stadium. The argument has been between Mayor Antwar and JSU on how to go about this - Antwar is demanding that it be in the area adjoining the bustling convention center (you know, that place down on Pearl Street with the already existing great parking areas) while JSU wants it on the other side of the tracks adjoining their campus.

Either way, its a hole into which they want the state to dump a bunch of money. JSU's argument for a domed stadium is that they would hold concerts and other events there and have it in use 300 days a year with money-making events.

The interesting fact in this humorous proposal is the former politico who was promoting this idea with the promises that he could 'get it done' - of course, though, there was a nice little piece for another of his clients.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
