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.
Guess he heard about us.
Great deals out by the zoo!
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.
You REDNECKS are SOOO IGNORANT. I guess a Black Man can't stay near you Privileged White Boys.
Come on out to Lake Caroline, we’d love to have ya!!!
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.
