Redemption and Miracles in the SWAC

The game itself was in jeopardy as water pipes ruptured across the Jackson, MS landscape. The deep freeze in the Deep South brought much more than a chill. It brought a city to its knees as residents found plenty of water gushing from pipes that shivered, froze and then thawed and ruptured. The damages are estimated to cost $300,000,000.00 in repairs. If ever there was a city that needed a new start and a miracle it was right here in Jackson, MS.

To experience both all you had to do was look to the Jackson State University Tigers who started the season at 0-10. But, now with their win over Prairie View A&M on Saturday night they have won 6 in a row and sit atop the SWAC standings with a perfect 4-0 record.

Tyrone Hanson was also a young man who needed a new start. He originally matriculated to the University of Nevada to escape the street distractions of NY. What he got instead was more of the same as he continued some of his unhealthy off court behaviors and a keen lack of following instructions from those who were looking out for him. His Dad, a former Marine called his son, “Hard headed.” Others called him misguided, troubled and even a bad kid. [ more ]

Dickey Nutt: A Sign of Hope at SEMO

Southeast Missouri State (SEMO) one year ago was a program awash in player arrests, player defections and NCAA violations. Head coach Scott Edgar was let go prior to the season and the program mailed in a three win season.

I saw that SEMO team late in the 2008-09 season and while they still tried to compete they were an abysmal facsimile to a real college basketball team. It was a ship with out a rudder and the ‘Titanic’ written all over it. This was a program that went from a rescue mission to a recovery search over the course of the season. This program was dead, buried and had no chance now or ever…or so it seemed.

It seemed as if the basketball program at SEMO would be silenced either by the NCAA, the school or from just plain losing. [ more ]
