I am so tired of state legislators telling us they know better than us, what is best for us. Seeing how many of them behave in Jackson (in and away from the Capitol building) is embarrassing. But seeing that and then being told that I can't have a craft beer, or for that matter, brew my own, is infuriating. I can ferment wine, but I can't brew a five-gallon bucket of bitters.

Legislators - are you that hypocritical, that self-inflated, or just that secluded from the real world? What are your arguments against raising the ABW levels, and allowing home brewing? We don't hear many of those, just quiet opposition when the voting roll is called. We know the real reason for opposition is that you don't want to be seen as publicly supporting the evil drink. (Though many of you sure support it when no one you know is looking) I guess raising the issue of increased tax revenue is pointless when referring to this bunch of fiscal wizards. Yep, they sure know better than us, eh?

Not only are Rebelbears, as you call them, enticed by your offer, a few MSU faithful like myself would not mind. But one month is not long enough. Have you thought about it being permanent?

While I'm no fan of the attorney general, at least give him the courtesy of allowing him to testify at the committee meeting.

The problem with politics is each party tries to bully the other one and it accomplishes NOTHING! Be civil. Just because the other party treated you bad does not mean you have to reciprocate. Rise above pettiness and try to work together for a change and move this state and country forward.

FINAL: MSU 70, Ole Miss 60

It was the Dee Bost show. The Rebels did a number on him in Oxford but this time he anticipated the defense of Terrance Henry, and seemed to be a step quicker all night.

The Rebels had the quicker step in Oxford. From start to finish they had more energy than the Bulldogs back in January.

The homecourt always gives an edge, but it was more than that tonight. State looked more determined, more focused than it did in Oxford.

And it all starts with Bost. He was 4-for-9 shooting, 3-for-6 from 3, 4-for-4 from the FT line to finish with 15 points and a career-high 13 assists.

With Bost on track, so was Arnett Moultrie. He was a much bigger factor this time with 18 points and nine rebounds.

Two players who were key when the Rebels won four of their first seven SEC games - Terrance Henry and Nick Williams -- were non-factors.

Henry was 2-for-9 shooting for six points, and Williams did not score. He was 0-for-5 from the field in the first half and took just one shot in the second half.

Reggie Buckner had 19 points and 15 rebounds against MSU in Oxford and turned in another solid night with 15 points and nine rebounds.

Andy Kennedy expanded his playing rotation, and LaDarius White had a productive 14 minutes with 4 points, a rebound, an assist and a steal.

Jelan Kendrick had 11 points off the bench was the reason Ole Miss outscored the MSU bench 19-11.

THe Bulldogs outrebounded the Rebels 38-33.
