SUMMARY: Hugh Keaton and Blake Brandon discuss the upcoming Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night, where Ole Miss Rebels face Mississippi State Bulldogs. Ole Miss, favored by about 10 points, eyes a 10-win season for the second time in three years. It's a significant game for Ole Miss to finish a solid season and retain bragging rights. Success is credited to the impact of coach Lane Kiffin's program building. The game also has implications for a potential New Year's Six bowl berth for Ole Miss.

Mississippi State, with a 5-win season and interim coach Greg Knox, must win to extend their bowl streak despite coaching changes and player motivations. Ole Miss's potential relies on their potent offense and a defense that's mostly solid outside of major games like Georgia and LSU. The game may be last on Thanksgiving due to future SEC TV contract changes. This matchup is especially charged due to the fierce in-state rivalry, with Ole Miss treating it like a home game and players on both sides familiar with the rivalry's importance.

Hugh Keeton and Blake Brannon join to give a preview ahead of Ole Miss and Mississippi State's Thanksgiving matchup.

SUMMARY: Memorial Hospital in Gulfport is facing a parking issue for its workers and patients. Coast Transit Authority is stepping in with a solution – a parking garage that would double the capacity of the existing lot. The garage will have 520 spaces, a pedestrian bridge to the hospital, and eliminate the need to cross a busy street. The $24 million project will be partially funded by the hospital with hopes for the rest to come from a US Department of Transportation grant. CTA is also planning to build a new bus hub to expand services. Grant recipients will be announced in June.

Memorial Hospital could be getting a new parking garage to alleviate the parking issues that both workers and patients face on a daily basis.
