SUMMARY: After 83 years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued a final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the long-debated Yazoo Backwater pumps project in Mississippi. The project aims to mitigate flooding in an area that experienced severe flooding in 2011, causing over $800 million in damage. The proposed solution includes high-volume pumps, groundwater wells, and property buyouts, with participation from residents. While proponents argue it will protect agriculture and communities, critics warn it could harm ecologically significant wetlands. Mississippi Senators Wicker and Hyde-Smith support the project, emphasizing the need for federal collaboration to advance it. Public review of the EIS ends December 30.

SUMMARY: Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin playfully trolled Auburn coach Hugh Freeze on social media after Ole Miss secured four-star tight end JC Anderson’s commitment.
