Mississippi State baseball coach vacancy likely to attract high-level candidates, analyst says
SUMMARY: After the recent firing of Chris Lemonis as Mississippi State baseball head coach, the search for his successor is underway under athletic director Zac Selmon. Mississippi State, ranked No. 8 in D1Baseball’s “Top 100 Programs,” struggles recently with a 45-69 SEC record and missing two NCAA Tournaments in three years despite a 2021 national title. The program remains attractive due to passionate fan support, strong tradition, top facilities, and NIL resources. Top candidates include UVA’s Brian O’Connor, Auburn’s Butch Thompson, and Georgia’s Wes Johnson—all with strong records and ties to Mississippi State or SEC baseball.

Mississippi stores affected by Blue Bell ice cream recall over packaging mishap
SUMMARY: Blue Bell is recalling limited batches of its Moo-llenium Crunch ice cream due to a packaging error at its Brenham, Texas plant. Some half-gallon cartons of Moo-llenium Crunch were mistakenly labeled in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough containers with Moo-llenium Crunch lids. Since Moo-llenium Crunch contains almonds, walnuts, and pecans, the recall warns customers with nut allergies of potential serious reactions. The mislabeled cartons can be identified by a specific code on the lid. Retailers across multiple states, including Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas, are affected. Consumers are advised to return the product for a full refund. No illnesses have been reported.
