JACKSON, Miss.) – Jackson State University will replace head football Coach Rick Comegy, the university announced today.


A search for Comegy’s successor will begin immediately, JSU Director of Athletics Vivian L. Fuller said.

Did anyone remind them of
Jeff Bower USM since?

Why? Football success is more of an idol than any other kind of achievement.

They must have had something on him. He was successful and a sometime champion.

Too many white quarterbacks.

And a Merry Christmas to you (as you walk out the door).

JSU is an incredibly poorly run organization. No parking on campus, constantly being sued for civil rights violations, firing a winning coach. Little regard for the safety of students. Parts of the campus thrust into some of the worst, and most dangerous, areas of Jackson. The college board needs to clean house and get that school remedied.

4:10 need to clean house with college board--look at all of the problems that they have caused at Southern Miss, Alcorn, Valley. There was even a conflict of interest case with board member and Southern Miss and nothing was accomplished.

I wonder if the coaches' termination rate could have anything to with the low graduation rates of the players? If you remember the school was put on notice that they would lose the ability to sign players if rate did not increase.

Since Valley is having some success with a white coach. Will the university from The Bold New City go the same route and get a white coach. It would show diversity. Or will the University still be depended up on its racial background.

Where Do The Money Come From? said...

The real question here is will Jackson State go to the legislature for the $50,000 buyout money?

JSU needs a new spokesperson. That Eric Stringfellow is an unfortunate looking.

Look at his record. Solid mediocrity 'cept for one season.

The white coach is at Alcorn. WAPT reporting Jackson's police chief to help lead the search. They should just ask Big Ken or Robert Graham if they "know somebody".

What's Sylvester Croom up to these days?

Word on the street is that Comegy was being considered by Texas once it became clear Saban was out of the running and JSU knew they couldn't afford to keep him so they decided to go ahead and cut their losses.

I am telling you he got canned for having too many white quarterbacks. Now if they could just find a brother to kick!

Rumor has it JSU alumni are building the pot to recruit Dan Mullen and move their home games to Scott Field.

Word on the street is half of you are full of shit. On another note, Eric Stringfellow, whom the black community refers to as mushmouth, is the spokesperson for this state institution of higher learning? God help us all. What the hell is he saying? He's giving Stokes a run for the money.

I would pay good money to hear Eric and Kenny sing a duet. LaRooter could accompany on the tuba.

Anonymous said...

I saw the TV comments, and I think he was saying POLITICS is alive and well at JSU. To use plain language may jeopardize his position. Could there have been a lack of chemistry between Comegy and the new athletic director?

Anonymous said...

They need to hire him at Ole Miss.

Anonymous said...

Too many liberal lawyers up there. He would have to have another degree or two to run with that crowd.

LaRooter on Tuba. Now that is funny as hell! Just don't give that woman no pair of cymbals!

Would be nice if we could get rid of politicians as fast as they can get rid of coaches................

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.
